Oh my God! A perfectly pounded thin slice of pork is breaded and pan-fried in oil, then butter, cream, bacon and mushrooms are added to make the scrumptious sauce. The jaeger schnitzel at Blaue Gans is perfection. The ingredients are supremely fresh and the sauce, though rich, doesn’t feel heavy. Oh, but I forgot to mention that it comes with my favorite spaetzle in town — I just love Kurt Gutenbrunner’s spaetzle. This dish puts me in a sheer state of ecstasy.
