Yeah...chopped steak is all over the south. I ordered it a few months ago at a steakhouse in charleston WV. One I find delicious is osso Buko. I had an old Italian friend tell me it used to be poor peoples food. It was the throw away. Now it is expensive but VERY good.
Absolutely, except down here look for "hamburger steak" as opposed to chopped steak. Most of your servers would give you the "what the hell" look. Osso buco, traditionally veal shank and sometimes beef shank is another peasant meal gone high end, same as ox tail, cheap cuts of meat with long cooking times that most of us poor people knew of long ago.
