You read that correctly. Zach and I headed into the University District tonight to a small place called Steinheil 16. A co-worker recommended it to us saying, "It has the biggest schnitzel in the city." (Don't feel bad, all of the German-speaking people at the table giggled at that too.) So, always wanting to try new things, we said "Why not?" We went in, ordered two half-liters of Augustiner Dunkel and two pork Wiener Schnitzels, then sat back and waited. When our food was brought out to the table, we really couldn't believe our eyes. These things were MASSIVE! Almost as large as the plate itself. Remember when you were a kid and your friends told you that if your hand was bigger than your face you had cancer? And then when you checked, they made you smack yourself in the face? Well, if someone said the same to you about the schnitzel, you'd just know right away that you had the worst cancer imaginable without even having to check.
Thankfully, they were very thin pieces, so you really weren't getting as much meat as it seemed like, but it was still really heavy (and delicious). Good thing we had a long walk back to the hotel to burn that one off.
