Today I take on Wolf Den's "Wolf It Down" Chicken Fried Steak Challenge!
In the first episode here in Texas, Im in Gainesville heading to the famous Wolf Den Family Restauanrt. It's a family-owned spot that’s been serving classic, home-style comfort food since 2004. Known for generous portions, friendly service, and homestyle cooking, it’s the kind of place where everything feels homemade and hearty. Their menu is full of Southern favorites like chicken-fried steak, fried catfish, burgers, sandwiches, and all-you-can-eat catfish nights that locals swear by. Wolf Den is also home to the “Wolf It Down” food challenge!
The "Wolf It Down" Chicken Fries Steak Challenge features four large chicken-fried steaks, mashed potatoes or fries, two vegetable sides, and 2 slices of Texas toast. There is a short 20 minutes to finish all the food to get the $36 meal free, a t-shirt and photo on their social media Wall of Fame.
