Leave it to Gray Kunz—that master of the haute and hearty—to out-schnitzel the competition. While a nice breaded veal, pork, or chicken cutlet—lemon wedge and parsley sprig at the ready—certainly has its appeal, how much more Kunzian to reinvent the Euro classic with a bread-crumbed and pan-fried ray fish and call it skate schnitzel. Served in a caper-brown-butter sauce and seasonally festooned with pumpkin seeds, finely diced butternut squash, and red-wine-steeped apples, the crisp yet tender, rich but tangy entrée is fast on its way to Kunz-signature-dish status, alongside his famous short ribs and wild-mushroom risotto.
Best Schnitzel
From the 2006 Best of New York issue of New York Magazine
Our mission this year: to hunt down not just the best but the best values in the eating, shopping, drinking, and general-consuming universe of New York. It’s quite the process, this, requiring eating and shopping and drinking (all in the name of research), followed by heated but civil discussion, and heated but less-civil discussion, until a winner emerges in each category.
