I came across your “Ask Uncle Phaedrus” while looking for the meatloaf recipe from Grand Rapids, Michigan’s wonderful Schnitzelbank German restaurant. I did not find it when looking through your archives. I’m so hoping you will either have it or be able to locate it. I am hoping this email finds you well and safe during this time of upheaval due to the Covid19. We are staying home as directed and what else does one do while home, look for recipes and making them. Thank you for all your help, Joyce Colorado
Hi Joyce,
Sorry, I had no success finding a meatloaf or meat loaf recipe from Schnitzelbank Restaurant in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
I did find a meat loaf recipe from the Schnitzelbank Restaurant in Jasper, Indiana. However, since there appears to be no connection between the two identically named restaurants, there is no reason to believe it is the same recipe. It's below for your appraisal.
I'll post this for reader input.
