The Schnitzel Factory close to Kitzingen, Germany - the Locals' tip for hungry Tourists

©

Every town has a place like this. You know the little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that is off the beaten path. It's the type of place that even guidebooks don't rate as a local gathering spot. In the town where I live, this place is the Schnitzel Factory, nestled in the heart of Repperndorf, a tiny village outside of Kitzingen. The restaurant has a proper name, but for the life of me, I cannot remember it, nor can any of my friends. It has always been the Schnitzel Factory. You might wonder at the industrial reference. The service is lightning quick, and the atmosphere is lively. But in the end it's as simple as this: at the Schnitzel Factory you get a monstrous serving of schnitzel the size of your head.

Schnitzel is one of the most famous German dishes, if you don't count the various kinds of würsts familiar to us from street side vendors. For the novice eater, schnitzel is a fried breaded pork cutlet. Many of us know the popular Wiener Schnitzel, which is in fact Austrian-"Wiener" meaning Viennese-and made from veal. The variations of schnitzel served at the Schnitzel Factory may astound a first-time visitor. You can choose from Rahmschnitzel, Jägerschnitzel, Paniert (plain schnitzel), Putenschnitzel (turkey schnitzel), and the list goes on and on. Most meals come with a salad, but remember to save room for the main course. Most of my salad usually goes to my friend's three-year-old son, a veggie fiend who loves the sour dressing. Most of us skip lunch when we make plans to meet up at the restaurant. Truly, you need to save that much room. The schnitzel servings must be over 16 inches in length. Plus, any empty space on the plate is covered with french fries or a spätzle (a German noodle). All and all, a mighty meal that few can finish, and most get no where near it. And what about the leftovers? Not a problem, since a server brings out a roll of aluminum foil, tearing off sheets for you to package your food and take home for a week of schnitzel sandwiches.

Frequent patrons love the Schnitzel Factory's open and convivial atmosphere. Families and friends gather at simple wood tables, and a cacophony of conversation and laughter fills the smallish room, which lacks much adornment apart from the simple lace curtains. It may not be fancy, but it's a place you will never forget. Your stomach, though, might never forgive you.
