Misguided Published Expert Food Critic At Large?

Breaded chicken breast with fried banana and pineapple rings.

Should not be called Maryland chicken. The dish does not exist in Maryland food culture. You won't find the dish on any menu in Maryland. This is an outrage!

Obviously my dear "published food expert which you claim to be, you are misguided and incorrect once again but this time in print.
Chicken Maryland or Maryland Chicken
Chicken Maryland From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chicken Maryland or Maryland Chicken is a historic dish associated with the U.S. state of Maryland. In its home base, it consists of fried chicken served with a cream gravy.[1}

Many Maryland families have their own heirloom recipes for this dish and it remains a regional specialty in Eastern Shore restaurants.

The primary factor which distinguishes Maryland fried chicken from other Southern fried chicken is that rather than cooking the chicken in several inches of oil or shortening, the chicken is pan-fried in a heavy (traditionally cast-iron) skillet and covered tightly after the initial browning so that the chicken steams as well as fries. Milk or cream is then added to the pan juices to create a white cream gravy, another Maryland characteristic.[2]

Escoffier had a recipe for "Chicken ├а la Maryland" in his landmark cookbook Ma Cuisine, but there is no canonical version. Often the chicken is marinated in a buttermilk marinade. Breading recipes vary in use of egg or buttermilk and the seasoning of the flour; the seasoning of the cream gravy also varies widely, although gravy is a signature aspect of the dish.

Wiki is wrong. I am right. People in Maryland know nothing about this so called Maryland chicken. Yes, I do know.

Maybe it's something from the civil war era. I'm telling you the truth, not Wiki bullshit. People in Maryland wouldn't know what the hell you are talking about if you asked for Maryland chicken.

Here are MODERN Maryland American food menus --

Crab cakes? YES. Everyone in Maryland knows. Maryland chicken? That's absurd.

I am not kidding you. You will not find Maryland chicken in Maryland.

Maybe some fool here knows how to read Wiki. I actually know Maryland food. Game set match.

Note this and note this well --
Just as you won't find "American Fried Rice" as served in Thailand with HOT DOGS anywhere in America, you will not find Maryland Chicken in Maryland. It is a non started in Maryland. Talk to 100 Marylanders and not one will know what you are talking about unless they have been to a foreign country that serves this fake Maryland dish. Case closed.

My dear, once again you are incorrect!
If you go to Wiiepedia you will plainly see that it states that AMERICAN FRIED RICE IS A THAI VERSION! It does not mean that it is an American Dish served in America although it states that it is starting to be served in Thai restaurants in America.

American fried riceFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search

American fried riceAmerican fried rice (Thai: р╕Вр╣Йр╕▓р╕зр╕Ьр╕▒р╕� �р╕нр╣Ар╕бр╕гр╕┤р╕Бр╕� ��р╕Щ, RTGS: khao phat amerikan, IPA: [k╩░├в╦Рw p╩░├аt ╩Фame╦Рrikan]; Malay: Nasi Goreng USA) is a Thai fried rice dish with "American" side ingredients like fried chicken, ham, hot dogs, raisins, ketchup, and croutons. Other ingredients like pineapple are optional. Because it was invented during the Vietnam War era to serve to United States Marine Corps and United States Air Force personnel stationed in Thailand, it is generally not found in Thai restaurants outside Thailand. With the recent[when?] proliferation of Thai restaurants, American fried rice is now appearing on Thai restaurant menus in the United States. The name comes from the fact that most of the ingredients are American or at least Western in origin.

The Malaysian equivalent of American fried rice, called Nasi Goreng USA, is made with many of the same ingredients.[1]

you really should get your facts straight before claiming to be an "expert" .

White Coffee PotFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
White Coffee Pot Family Inns was a privately held Baltimore, Maryland, restaurant chain and coffeeshop popular from the 1940s until the 1980s. During the 1960s and 1970s, they opened a chain of fast-food restaurants White Coffee Pot, Jr. Major competitors included national chains Gino's (which sold Kentucky Fried Chicken), Denny's and Friendly's

The last White Coffee Pot restaurant closed in Brooklyn Park, Maryland, in 1993. The company shared ownership with the Horn and Horn Smorgasbord Cafeteria chain,[1] and some locations are now Cactus Willie's all-you-can-eat restaurants.

The White Coffee Pot restaurants were known for their bread pudding and Maryland-style fried chicken.

Actress Veronica Lake was a waitress at a White Coffee Pot restaurant in the 1960s

Maryland style fried chicken is just fried chicken. No different from southern fried chicken. Marylanders do not eat fried chicken with cream sauce. Again, get this through your thick skull -- Marylanders don't know of this dish -- Maryland chicken.

1/2 cup minced salt pork

Preparation:
Cut chicken in pieces. In a wide, shallow bowl, combine beaten eggs, salt and pepper and 2 tablespoons water. Place the bread crumbs in another bowl or plastic bag. Dip chicken pieces in the egg mixture then roll in bread crumbs.

Fry salt pork in a heavy skillet until crisp and browned. Add chicken to the skillet; cook slowly until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Dot with butter; cover and transfer to a preheated 325┬░ oven. Bake until tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Thanks lonely! But remember within 4 hours he has polled everyone in Maryland and everyone said he was correct! He states that Maryland chiccken may have been "ancient" but a quick search shows at least one well known chain IN MARYLAND was very popular for it as recent as 1993. I did not know that Maryland chicken was Mexican nor did I think 1993 was ancient! Well SHIT, I was born in 1955! I must be a MUMMY created around the same time as the pyramids of Egypt! Oh he's gonna make me pee my pants.

Go to Maryland. Believe me, you will not find Chicken Maryland or Maryland Chicken on any restaurant menus. Ask for it and you'll get a blank look. Order fried chicken in Maryland and you will get fried chicken that is basically the same thing as you get in California. There will be no cream sauce; there will be no bananas. My theory on how this oddness got to Thailand is this. Back in the olden days when this dish may have been in fashion, some American went to somewhere in Europe, probably England and introduced this dish. Thus it came to Thailand by way of Europe, NOT Maryland. In today's Maryland, believe me, you DO NOT find Maryland Chicken! This kind of thing happens with immigration. For example the Germans in the American middle west look back in time to a frozen time in German history. The parts of their German culture including food culture that they do have is based on OLD TIME Germany, not modern Germany. The same with this Chicken Maryland, that is old time Maryland. BTW, I can't find any evidence at all that the fried chicken served at the DEAD food chain, White Coffee Pot, was cream sauce fried chicken anyway! I would bet it was regular fried chicken with no cream sauce.

What about Fairyland chicken.!!

Thank you DCbob. So I guess Wkipedia is absolutely wrong above when they say it is served with cream sauce and it is different than fried chicken. :sign5:
You see all the recipes for Cicken maryland and maryland Chicken but they are wrong.
It was served in at least one chain of restaurants which you call ancient around the civil war and Wikipedia says it was served up til the closing of the chain in 1993.
Namarak your post is full of maybe this and probably that. You just dont know shit about it but youre guessing.

Obviously a depressed old troll who is a PHONEY. Everyone on the internet is wrong but Namarak. Namarak? Is Food.com wrong also??
I suggest you start writing emails to them all and telling them that you are a published Food critic and that they are all full of shit! I am done with this thread now. You cant even Google and Wikipedia things and admit when you're wrong.
