Browsing around the internet the other day, I saw a fast-food ("Imbiss" or "Schnellimbiss") restaurant I'd quite like to try: Schnitzi's, a place in Midwood, NY, that sells deep-fried chicken schnitzel on fresh baguettes. That sounds good, but in addition there's a choice of breading on the schnitzel; garlic, mustard or sesame-flavored, for example.

Here is a classic schnitzel for home-cooking, but it would be easy to add some flavor to the bread crumbs by adding a tablespoon of this or that. Kevin Weeks at cookingfortwo.about.com also has this schnitzel recipe with good tips. Still, next time you are in NY, you might want to share one of their foot-long sandwiches with your sweetie.
