Five Sharp

Cooking method

Breaded and fried Sunday dinners

Flour, egg, crumb, then fat. The coating is not decoration: it insulates the meat so it steams gently inside while the outside crisps, which is how a cutlet stays juicy at a thickness that would otherwise dry out. Schnitzel, tonkatsu, milanesa and chicken-fried steak are the same technique wearing four passports — a good illustration of why method and cuisine are worth separating.
