COURS D'ESCALOPE VIENNOISE

To cook a Viennese schnitzel the old-fashioned way, head for the temple of the Wiener Schnitzel, the restaurant of the Grand Hotel Ferdinand on the Ring: the Meissl & Schadn. Procedure: hammer the meat, coat with flour, beaten eggs and breadcrumbs, then fry in hot oil. The result is a golden, crispy cutlet, but tender on the inside... Pack a schnitzel hammer in your suitcase to repeat the feat at home.
