This is an old Pittsburgh favorite the way my mom used to make it. Very popular in the 40's & 50's and a nice trip down the culinary memory lane. You still find pre-assembled city chicken in the grocery store, but these days its made with pork only. Read more Veal just got too expensive to have for a weeknight family dinner! See less

These do sound good, but you are right it has been ages since I have had veal, beef is hard enough to convince myself to buy veal has become out of the question. Unless I find a really good deal.
