Matt & Mark’s Schnitzel Crusade

Something occurred to me recently. Whenever I go out for lunch or dinner, the same thing always happens. I experience the initial anticipation of what meal I’m going to eat. I then arrive at the restaurant and read carefully through the menu, wondering which unique, fancy, mouth-watering meal I should choose. I discuss the options with the people around me, to see what their thoughts are. And then, almost invariably, I order a schnitty. Maybe a steak every now and then. A pizza once in a while. Very occasionally something that a more cultured person than myself would refer to as a ‘proper meal’. But on most occasions, the schnitzel proves to be irresistible.

And I’ve come to realise that I’m not alone. The world seems to be divided into two groups – those who love schnitzel, and those for whom the feeling is something beyond love. Matt and I, after working out that we were both undoubtedly in the latter group, decided that we had a duty not only to ourselves, but to all of our fellow schnitzel-loving Adelaideans… our mission: Find Adelaide’s best schnitzel. So if you share our enduring desire for a good schnitty, and want to find out where you can find one, please follow us on our journey, as we explore the city and suburbs of Adelaide one restaurant at a time.

At each restaurant, we will rate the schnitty on taste, size and value for money. We will also take into account the sides (chips, salad etc), as well as the restaurant itself (experience, atmosphere, service, music etc). Ultimately, we will provide an overall rating of the entire schnitzel-eating experience, and tell you why you should – or shouldn’t – eat at this restaurant.

If there is a restaurant that you feel we simply must try as part of our schnitzel voyage, then please let us know. We’re open to all recommendations!

Anyway, time for us to open up our wallets, put on our extra loose pants and get down to business. We hope you enjoy hearing about our adventures and benefitting from our expert reviews!

Much Love,

Mark & Matt
