a pork schnitzel grabbed straight out of the fridge with a paper napkin.
[/quote]This holiday schnitzel thing is interesting. I just watched Christmastime in New Orleans on KCET. Chef John Folse spoke of the âseven distinct nationsâ coming together to form New Orleans culture and food, Germany being one of them. Then on the program, Chef John Besh did a demo of his familyâs X-Mas breakfast. It was a floured, pan-fried pork cutlet on grits, topped with a skosh of pan sauce. He didnât say it, but I thought âItâs Creole schnitzelâ. Is schnitzel a German holiday staple?

[/quote]Dang Chowseeker. You go deep. Calling @Xochitl. I know you were looking for something on the Westside. But hereâs a good âpork intestine fixâ.

Youâre eating Fried Protein. With no rice (they donât serve any rice or noodles); with no vegetables. It just felt kind of unsatisfying
[/quote]I hear yaâ. But itâs just not weird to some. Hubby had a hankering and went out for fried chicken recently. If I hadnât mentioned sides he wouldnât even have thought about it. He does the same with BBQ. He just gets the sides because.

Large Fried Chicken Breast,
[/quote]I always wonder what makes them so large. Older hens? Capons? Or something more sinister - like hormones, salt water injections⌠Hmmm.

Hi @TheCookie,
Oh donât get me wrong, we love Fried Chicken as well (see my Howlinâ Rayâs posts 
). I think it was just the mindset going in, seeing it pounded out like a standard Cutlet, we were thinking itâd be served like a more traditional Taiwanese Pork Chop / Chicken Cutlet Rice (with sides and rice); or Japanese Tonkatsu / Chicken Katsu (Cutlet) style (also with rice and sides). 
Also it is really, really oblong and strangely Claim Jumper-esque: It seriously was larger than a Frisbee. 
So with no fork / knife / chopsticks in the restaurant (not even paper plates), youâre left holding up this giant flattened Cutlet and ripping off chunks of it like a barbarian or something? 
I love Spicy City â think it stands with all the better known Sichaun places and has no lines or pretentious BS. And they let you BYO, no corkage/no questions asked,

wow, I guess that hot-star large fried chicken is really popular
I was very happy.
I actually just watched Following for the first time a week or so back. Heâs the man, man.

[/quote]A nice excursion. If you havenât been and are in the 'hood again, try Haus by Coffee Hunter on 6th.

The Dragonâs Breath are these lil balls made in liquid nitrogen that produce a smokey fog when you bite into em. They taste like stale Fruit Loops, and youâre afraid for your life the entire time.
[/quote]That is hilarious. If thatâs the place on Western, Iâve passed it a few times. There are always crowds of people inside or just hanging outside (lots of teens). They look like they come from all over.
Seems like you had a tasty weekend all around. Good pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Oh donât get me wrong
[/quote]Iâm with you. No sides seems a little awkward. Plus them being freakishly big and strange shaped .
Spicy City looks interesting. Your pictures are great.
Thanks so much for alerting me to this place! The menu looks like heaven!! Intestine, tripe, blood!!! Now I just need to strong-arm someone into going with me!

Will do!
The one on Western indeed. And yeah. Teen City, Utah. And a bunch of families. Some solid people watching as you blow liquid nitrogen smoke through your nose.

No, sausage or fish are staple Christmas Eve dishes.
We usually had fried fish, the schnitzel was for people that donât like fish. And there was always potato salad, thatâs pretty traditional.
