14:00 Optional lunch with "fire cutlets" for an additional fee.
The origin of the name Pozharsky cutlets is associated with Evdokim Pozharsky, the owner of the Pozharskaya tavern and hotel in Torzhok in the early 19th century. Initially, the cutlets were supposedly prepared from veal.
They acquired their modern appearance in the 1830s and 1840s already under Daria Pozharskaya, who inherited her father's tavern. There is a version that the recipe for chicken cutlets was given to the innkeeper by an unfortunate Frenchman who could not otherwise pay for the shelter and thus helped this woman make a fortune.
Chicken cutlets are really a delicious dish! Anyway, one day Daria Pozharskaya treated Emperor Nicholas I, who was passing through Torzhok, with her chicken cutlets. He liked the cutlets so much that later he invited the innkeeper to the royal court more than once.
After Daria's death, the Pozharsky family business gradually declined. However, the fate of her signature cutlets turned out better: they became a typical dish of Russian cuisine, widely known both in Russia and abroad.
