When I went to Savannah over Labor Day Weekend (photos), a group of SCAD students I chatted up at the Rail Pub on Congress Street strongly recommended that I eat at a German-Thai fusion place called the Schnitzel Shack.
Wait, what?
According to them, a German immigrant and a Thai immigrant got married, moved to Southeast Georgia, and opened up a restaurant. This was not the first time I had chatted up a random stranger in a city and was given a recommendation to eat a tenderized and fried pork chop, the exact same scenario played out in Krakow, Poland. How does everyone know that pork is my favorite meat? A couple months later, on my drive down from Virginia returning from Thanksgiving, I made a stop in Rincon to see if it was real. A few miles off I-95 in a nondescript strip mall…and yes, it was real, and exactly as awesome as it was made out to be.
I ordered a curry schnitzel, since I was on my own and couldn’t properly split up a German and a Thai dish with a companion. Order it with a beer.
