Chattanooga’s first Volkswagen-era restaurant to offer up German cuisine is hoping to attract patrons with off-kilter twists on traditional foods from both sides of the Atlantic.
Since the Brewhaus opened its doors on Sept. 16, the Rooster Schnitzel has been among the most-popular items on a menu full of double-take dishes, such as cherry ale mustard-glazed chicken and cheeseburgers smothered in sauerkraut and pickled beets.
Some German patrons have balked at the Rooster’s untraditional use of fried eggs to top schnitzel (a pounded meat cutlet), but those who try it have been won over, co-owner Michael Robinson said.
