When the schnitzel is good you feel that you have come across
one of the culinary wonders of the world. Tender…crisp….
savory…simple and satisfying…….

I have gone through an evolvement of making this
fabulous dish, that is so much of a song to German cuisine.

As apple pie and chicken fried steak would be to the United
States, so is Schnitzel, very often served with pomme fritz as a simple comfort food like we would grab a meatloaf or fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy.

there is a lot of really ….mediocre schnitzel out there. It is too thick, too much breading, soggy or gloopy gravy.

Right amount of nicely seasoned breading to meat, that gives the perfect savory bite…..of tender. flavorful ….and goes down easy.
