Schnitzelhaus Cooks Best Of The Wurst
By Kurt Loft
Published: 8/8/01
TAMPA - A sip of Dinkel Acker and bite of bauerwurst on a bed of
fresh kraut is a taste married in culinary heaven. The danger is
overindulging on appetizers, then making a courageous bid at finishing
dinner and dessert without busting the gut.
Diets aren't honored at the Schnitzelhaus, a cozy German restaurant in
northwest Tampa that rises above the American stereotype of Teutonic fare.
Owners Mike, Susi and Ralph Jacobi serve comfort food in generous
portions, so anyone considering a few months of hibernation might want to
pay a visit.
In general, German food gets a bad rap. Germany borders nine countries and
two seas, absorbing a variety of influences. But these traditions too
often are dismissed by restaurants catering to narrow tourist tastes. The
Schnitzelhaus pays homage to the homeland, although its limited menu and
wine list can't possibly reflect the scope of Germany's heritage.
A good start is an order of potato pancakes, two large fried patties
served with applesauce or sauerkraut. They also go well with sour cream.
We loved the goulash soup, a thick and luscious concoction of beef,
onions, tomatoes and tangy spices. Consider the cream of potato
Kartoffelsuppe, or the beef broth and liver dumpling Leberknodelsuppe.
The dinner menu features traditional pork, chicken, lamb, venison and veal
dishes, one of the more popular being Jagerschnitzel ... breaded pork or
chicken smothered in a dark mushroom sauce with lots of spaetzle. The
goulash dinner, creamy beef served with red cabbage and spaetzle, will
appeal to anyone who loves spice. And a paprika sauce with bell peppers
perks up the Zigeunerschnitzel, which can be made from pork, chicken or
veal.
The Schnitzel Gourmet Dinner includes Wiener Schnitzel with white
asparagus spears in a tarragon sauce. A delicious leg of lamb simmers in a
rich garlic gravy, while the kitchen frames its venison roast in a heavy
wine-and-cream sauce. The marinated beef sauerbraten, like many other
entrees, comes with red cabbage and spaetzle.
If your appetite beckons, consider a filling special-of-the-day:
Jagerschnitzel a la Black Forest. The feast features salad with a piquant
house dressing, veal schnitzel with spaetzle and wild mushrooms sauteed in
wine and flambed tableside in brandy.
Beer options include Spaten, Dinkelacker, Warsteiner, Diebel's Alt,
Pilsner Urquell, Bitburger, Kristallklar and Dunkel. The wine selection,
unfortunately, doesn't reflect the range or quality of German Rieslings.
It wouldn't be a German dinner without such desserts as Vienna apple
strudel, poppy seed cake or hot raspberries. The owners are gracious
hosts, full of good humor and willing to adapt the menu to suit special
needs.
