Millie wanted to share this information and asked me to post it. This recipe is as closely guarded as the Coca Cola formula hidden away in the vault at Sun Trust Bank. Kudos to Millie for keeping the secret.
My dad, Lamar Majors, helped to create the Chick Steak, along with Glen Phelps. Dad and Mr. Phelps spent many hours perfecting the sandwich. Dad managed the Triangle Restaurant for Mr. Phelps and later opened his restaurants, Ludie's and the Lamp Post. My parents didn't feel it would be fair to share the recipe with anyone. Anne's recipe sounds as if it would be great; however; it's missing an ingredient that Dad and Mr. Phelps used. Dad and mother had a sandwich called the Doublegood that was very much like the Chicksteak. They also made those wonderful Dutch Apple Pies. We had a pie kitchen that was separate from our regular kitchen in our home. Dad would make apple pies and lemon pies every day. He had a commercial apple slicer and it was nothing for him to make 18 pies or so in an afternoon.
Mother said dad taught her to cook. Once she had "tried" to cook turnip greens using a new pressure cooker. Dad came in and mother told him dinner was almost ready. She told him to look up at the ceiling and part of his dinner was on the ceiling. She was a fast learner and I don't think that disaster happened any more. She ended up being a fantastic cook. It was always a race with the two of them to see who could outdo the other one.

said Nancy. (I haven't figured it out. It keeps telling me my password is wrong...Ouida what am I doing?)
Ouida, if you can identify Anonymous, I want you pick some lottery numbers for me. We'll split the proceeds.
Never before and never since has a sandwich tasted as good as Chick Steaks.
I think we have a clue to the identity of Anonymous. Could it be Nancy (Collier)? She did give us a hint with her, "said Nancy".
David, I didn't plan to or want to be anonymous, it was the only way I could get my message to go. There must be other anonymi..:)

Hey, Anonymous. I admire your tenacity. Most folks apparently back off and give up. And quite a few probably have interesting observations and valuable inputs. Many comments by whatever identity is good for the blog.Would that more would use Anonymous, if that's the only way available to comment. Good for you.
I remember the pressure cookers. I never launched any food to the ceiling, but had relatives that did. It was always funny to scrape the food from the ceiling.
And "said Nancy" as long as you are posting, you can remain anonymous.
How creative, "said Nancy". I love it. I thought you left a great clue as to your identity.
