Season the cutlets; dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off excess flour; dip each cutlet into a beaten egg; then coat with dried bread crumbs (I used panko). Fry in olive oil (or a combo of olive oil and butter for extra richness), until golden brown and cooked through. Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice.
Hi Wini! Great news for central Iowans and former central Iowas who will make it a point to stop by Old Station when we’re in town to visit family/friends.
Loved this post. I recognized the name. Nick was one of my students at Central College. I will have to go check out Old Station. You made it sound like a destination for sure! Thanks
He mentioned he went to Central! In fact, he's pairing with another buddy from Central for the October farm to table dinner. Nice to hear from you, Jann.
Hey Jann. I hope you can stop out at our shop sometime. It would be great to reconnect. Can you believe we have 4 Central College graduates working at Old Station Craft Meats. Nick Richtsmeier is not one of them but he is the other Central grad hosting the Whole Hog Jubliee. It would be fun if you could make it.
It's such a wonderful place. The fresh meats display case is always so beautiful. So enticing... It used to by newest bad habit. Now it's just an old, but always near the top of the list. Veal cutlets? Hello saltimbocca... Thanks Wini!
What I found in my research (and what makes perfect sense):
Remember when airline travel used to be elegant? These are elegant cuts that were designed for airlines to serve, because they could be easily enjoyed while eating from a tray on a flight.
I love this type of research! I was just about to “google” airline chicken! I remember asking my mom why anyone would name a salad (actually a dessert) after a political scandal - Watergate Salad. Then I started to learn about the hotels famous for a number of recipes, Watergate, Waldorf, etc.
I love hotels that had signature recipes. I ate at the Parker House Hotel in Boston just because I wanted to eat at the place where Parker House rolls were invented. They also invented “Boston Scrod,” which was lovely. Some people might have found that dining room “fuddy-duddy,” but I loved the feel of history!
Here's the recipe for that Veal Cutlet:
Season the cutlets; dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off excess flour; dip each cutlet into a beaten egg; then coat with dried bread crumbs (I used panko). Fry in olive oil (or a combo of olive oil and butter for extra richness), until golden brown and cooked through. Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice.
Thanks Wini: I love veal and now know where to get cutlets and can try your recipe. Terry

I’d love to receive the chicken breast recipe!
Thanks! I’ll try to get it out there soon, and I’ll let you know when I do.
Reading this is so rich and satisfying. Thanks for sharing

I didn't know about Old Station until last year. Their steaks are steakhouse quality!
I haven't even gotten to the steaks yet. I was like a kid in a candy store with all the cuts I've been long unable to find ... until now!

Oh yes! Saltimbocca! Yes, yes, yes.
Hey Wini,
Curious on how the chicken breasts acquired the name "Airline" Do you know the story behind that?
Hope all is well my friend.

I find that fascinating!

P.S.: Boston Scrod is a buttery-crumb-topped, baked whitefish, and it’s delicious. I think I need to make me some!
I thought that could be the reason. Cool.
The cuts of meat and the recipes you discussed look absolutely wonderful.
Appreciate it. Look forward to reading your posts.
My best to Dave.
No recipe given. Just cook quickly over medium high heat until medium rare. The New York Times recipe here offers a good method (you don’t need to make the salad). You can use a thin layer of vegetable oil instead of the ghee they specify. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020377-bavette-steak-with-tahini-vegetable-salad
