Episode 257: Claim Jumper Chicken Fried Beef Steak

Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master


Claim Jumper must be made up of people who believe in the “you only live once” mentality. One piece of evidence is this meal, the Claim Jumper Chicken Fried Beef Steak meal which i’m confident took 5 years off my life after consumption. High in calories, high in fat, high in sodium. But will it be high in taste? The Frozen Food Master will tell you.

for 4+ bucks they could have taken the cob out.

i think it’s interesting how you say “when we come back…” when for the viewer it’s the same amount of time to see the title card. i know it’s just because for you it’s actually a while before you get back on cam.

thanks for the entertaining review.

I like my mashed potatoes with gravy… Shitloads of gravy. Sometimes just salt and pepper is all mashed potatoes need though.

Too many steps, if I’m going to work that hard I might as well get a job

Gotta love Claimjumper’s over-the-top food offerings. I might have this in the restaurant, but for those calories…I think I’ll pass on the frozen version.

On a side note, the pop-up ad during this review was for Peripheral Artery Disease.

p.s. my daughter giggles everytime she hears you say “into my belly”

I usually eat sweet potatoes with nothing else for nutritional reasons, but times when I splurge I usually like salt, pepper, butter, and gravy.

Ok I have never had country fried steak. It doesn’t look too good to me.

At least you only ate a few bites. :P

Damn man. After you take the first bite of steak, and after you cut the second piece, but before you eat it… Look at that section.. There’s a piece of meat hanging by a hair X-P

“High in calories, high in fat, high in sodium.” Great, get even fatter for almost no money at all! How is it that America seems to lead the way in easily becoming obese on the cheap? Sad, very sad.

I feel like it’s hard to come across good frozen mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes I’ve tried have always lacked in salt.

Ouch! Where was Keyboard Cat when you needed him (or is it “her”?), after biting into that corn?

This is definitely NOT a product that I would buy; I'm not really a fan of the “deep fried and smothered in gravy” category of food… and in addition, I hate corn on the cob! And yet even though I would never eat this myself, I think I felt my arteries starting to harden just from *watching* this review…

As for mashed potatoes, who doesn't love those? … Still, all too often they can be ruined by really bad gravy (and more often than not, too much of it). I usually skip the gravy unless it's an exceptionally delicious gravy… and I never add extra butter (mashed potatoes usually have more than enough of that already in them). While great mashed potatoes really don't *need* anything extra added to them, my philosophy of “mashed potato mix-ins” comes from Alton Brown, although I wish I could take credit for it myself… i.e. open fridge, look for any items lying around that would go well with mashed potatoes (after all, even though great potatoes don't *need* anything, potatoes do go well with almost anything), and throw them in! Any combination of herbs usually works well, as does cheese, or chopped sun-dried tomatoes, or sliced mushrooms (sorry, Greg). When I feel like adding extra flavors to my mashed potatoes, AB's philosophy always serves me well… unless, of course, we are talking about sweet potatoes, which I would *never* even think of defiling by adding anything extra. One must never mess with perfection.

Well, I am not sure how the final outcome of this fried chicken beef steak will be, but because the guy in the video have made such promising claims regarding nutritional value I must definitely cook it out at least once this month!
