Rather Than a Riff: Golden Hill Cafe

I was sitting at La Casita, by City College, when I picked up the Reader and read Ms Emma Goldman's column on this little gem of a diner the Golden Hill Cafe. I've lived in the area for years and have enjoyed their meals over these years. I have never been disappointed until today. I was terribly hungry! The waitress, who was very friendly and offered her comment about the Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs I selected (comes with hash-browns and gravy) that she had been recommending to many of her customers today. The food service was fast! Yes, it smelled great as the waitress placed my plate before me but, I was shocked at what I received! It wasn't Chicken Fried Steak!!! What I received was a "Carne Asada" that had been covered in egg wash and flour!!! After I ate most of the meal, and tapatio didn't help, I told the waitress about what that meal should be i.e. deep fried cube steak with a crunch! She apologized and was at a loss for words because of my disappointment in the meal but I also told her that I still think that this place deserves its kudos but not that meal which was a travesty of American Diner delicacy!
