There are two places I have eaten a pork schnitzel in my life and they were THE BEST introduction to German cuisine for me.

Who doesn’t love a good burger?! Sometimes I want all the flavors of my favorite burger but don’t want to have to take a nap after I eat it, so I really enjoy removing the bun (and the extra grease) and building these lightened up burger bowls instead.
