Schnitzel is a beloved Austrian dish consisting of a thin, breaded and fried cutlet, typically made with veal or pork. Its origins can be traced back to the 19th century, where it gained popularity in Vienna before spreading throughout Central Europe. Renowned chefs such as Franz Sacher and Karl Escoffier have contributed to its evolution, with variations like the Wiener Schnitzel becoming iconic. Today, the best Schnitzel can be found in traditional Viennese restaurants, where the meat is pounded thinly, breaded with care, and fried to golden perfection. The key to a great Schnitzel lies in the quality of the meat and the crispiness of the breading. While veal and pork are the classic choices, chicken and turkey are popular alternatives. Whether enjoyed with a squeeze of lemon or paired with a side of potato salad, Schnitzel continues to be a timeless comfort food that delights food enthusiasts worldwide.
