This week, the Food Truck Kitchen heads east on Eat St. to New York City for something you won’t find on every street corner or food pod – Schnitzel. Launched in 2009, Schnitzel & Things was the
first mobile food truck serving schnitzel with a new and creative twist. Schnitzel is not very common in America, but the concept, brand and food caught on like wildfire.
Just in case you’re wondering, Schnitzel is a hand pounded, lightly breaded thin cutlet of meat fried to golden perfection. It is traditionally served with Austrian potato salad, cucumber salad and a lemon wedge.
