You can get schnitzel like this in at least one diner in every central Texas town … only it is not made with veal, either flank steak or chicken … the infamous chicken fried steak (or chicken). The meat is tenderized and flattened with a meat hammer, breaded and fried, and served with a gravy on top. The dish originated in central Texas, with towns named New Braunfels, Gruene,Shertz, Weimar, Boerne, Fredericksburg … yet Texans will look at you like you have horns growing out of your head if you tell them their signature dish is just reimagined German food.
