Schnitzel & Things Beaten to the Punch by Brucha Caterer Truck

There has been a lot of press (and even more twittering) about the new Schnitzel and Things truck, coming soon to Midtown. Hell, they even have “merch” for sale- and they haven’t even sold a single bite of schnitzel yet! Well, Fressagirl is reporting that another truck serving schnitzel quietly hit the scene a month ago on 9th Ave. btw. 32+33rd (just outside the Midtown Lunch boundaries.) In fairness to Schnitzel & Things, schnitzel is just one of the many items on the Brucha Caterer truck- which is entirely kosher. (And, as you know from this post, Austrian schnitzel and kosher schnitzel can be two completely different things.)

Of course Midtown has plenty of room for two schnitzel trucks. And I’m still looking forward to the arrival of veal schnitzel! In fact, Schnitzel & Things just released the first photo of their truck, which you can check out after the jump…

They’re hoping to be on the road next week- but we’re hearing they’ll be in Brooklyn to start off. They want to get everything perfect, and running smooth, before venturing into the madness that is lunchtime in Midtown. (I think that’s a very wise idea.)

So what you’re saying Zach is that the Schnitzel truck will be conducting training exercises and consolidating their power in Brooklyn before advancing their armor across an unguarded water crossing to surprise the Brucha truck … with a choice of annexation or being pushed west into the Hudson?

Hey Schitzel Truck, mach schnell. I for one am really looking forward to sampling your stuff.

Is that Alexander Wurz’s old pit crew working on your truck in the photo?

“Schnitzel” from a kosher vehicle that also sells beef salsa and poppers (amyl nitrate) ??

In the words of dear departed Rudy:

JESUS WEPT

There can be… only one. And Germans(Austrians!) have a hard time not being that one. :-P

Is it me or does the corrugated metal sheets on that truck look kind of like armor plating? I guess they’re anticipating trouble from the established vendors (ala the gyro vendor who promised to set fire to the Street Sweets truck).

Now that you mention it El, it is also very close to the colors of the Afrika Korps…

The metal sheeting … well let’s just say “lesson learned at Tobruk”

LOL Wayne, the truck would fit in perfectly on that old 60s WW2 show, Rat Patrol.

Now I’m craving schnitzel, wurst and pints of Radeberger, might have to swing out to Jersey City tonight to meet some buddies at the newly opened local biergarten.

Schnitzel truck, can’t wait to see you Midtown.
