Schnitzel Down is Happening Today on 46th
Ask and ye shall receive. Ever since we asked the Schnitzel & Things truck to create their own version of the KFC double down the Schnitzel Lab has been hard at work at a sandwich creation that uses veal chicken schnitzel instead of a bun. Well, the testing has come to and end and today the truck will debut the Schnitzel Down! For those of you who are unfamiliar with the crime against nature that is the KFC double down, the schnitzel down is two piece of wiener chicken schnitzel sandwiched around cheese and bacon (no bun.) They’ll only have limited quantities, and it’s definitely not going to be a regular item (and for good reason)… so if you’re excited by this, you might want head to the truck early today. They’ll be parked on 46th btw. 5+6th.

Only way to improve this meal would be if Yvo fed it to me, as I commend her on her nubile teenage looks
-
Wayne, were you there yesterday?
-
Do you remember the tall, handsome guy with the good looks?
I was standing behind him.
-
Must of missed you both then.
-
Gahhh, Cheese, must HAVE! Must HAVE, not must OF!!!
Also, Wayne, thanks for keeping the drool in check while I was talking to you, then. You didn’t seem to be too smitten, good job at concealing your feelings.
:P

I don’t get paid to rite. I use words any way I lik em.

I recently quit smoking. This will be an acceptable substitute to indulge in self destructive behavior.

Chris: SInce when? Sunday?
And, this looks incredible.-
i was wondering the same thing, chris!
-
-
what time do you think one should be there should they want to try this?
-
The schnitz burger sold out by like 1-130ish when it debuted. You think people will be as adventerous with the schnitz down?
-
-
Whenever they set up shop at 46th if possible for those with long lunch hours but def. before Noon would be advisable to secure it.
And Chris said recently. That could be today?
-
….looks like it fell off chucky’s back.
-
I like everything about it but the name, Schnitzel Down is dumb, should be the Doppelgänger.
-
I was thinking Der Großer Scheißehersteller

Schrödinger’s Chicken Sandwich: Will it kill you, or are you already dead.

CheeeeEEEEse’s idea FTW

Chris, I’m already dead inside.

But you didn’t even sell your soul to Corporate America…yet?

They aren’t paying enough yet.

I was going to be a good boy and eat the lunch I brought today and this just totally F’ed my plan up.
-
I know! Oh well. I gotta fill up these fat pants some how.
-
-
They’re out. They made like 10. WTF?
-
Sorry, they made 25. TWENTY-FIVE. And everyone in the front of the line bought one!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

You probably just would have complained about it anyway. It’s really a piece of concept art, not something I’d order again. The bacon is kind of flabby and the cheese can’t compete with two pieces of schnitz. Still, five stars for effort and for rising to the challenge, it’s probably not something that can or should be improved upon given the materials provided. Maybe they could keep bacon and cheese as options for a more classical sandwich.
-
You ate that and remained conscious without coffee?
-
you ate that without being wasted?!
-
-
-
They were out at 11:45 bastards
-
I said “you should come here every Tuesday”, the Schnitzel Man said “We will”. I’m going to need bigger pants…
-
It was incredible. For $8 you got two entire chicken schnitzels with bacon, cheese and what seemed like a sauce in between. http://twitpic.com/1kzm4f
Glad I got there early to get it but damn it was a lot of food. I think it would have been better done as half the size and served as a platter.
OR
make the top Veal, the bottom chicken and have bacon/cheese in the middle. Then I have all my food groups. -
Ok, first of all, I got the last Schnitz Down today. I apologize to everyone that didn’t get one, including my cardiologist.
Second of all, i’ll echo what Masto said. It’s like listening to a Klaus Nomi album and you’re confused, a little scared, but you find yourself enjoying it and hating yourself for doing so.
I’ll end with these comments:
Der schnitz down has von ze var. Ze VAR ON HUNGER!-
My cardiologist would have thanked you too, except that I got the burger. Ugh. That’s not moving for the rest of the day.
Guess now I have time to try the KFC version before the truck version.

I just ran into Oleg ordering a bulgoki at Kim’s Aunt’s Kitchen. Good to see him enjoying one of the other great MT offerings!

I kinda agree with Masto. I was one of those lucky few that managed to get one. I got mine as part of a platter and thank goodness. Mine didn’t really look like it did in the picture. There wasn’t any kraut or sauce on the inside and they forgot my lemon and my sauce. But it’s cool cause I just loaded my sides up on the thing anyway. The cheese and the bacon didn’t particularly stand out. So it was a little underwhelming without the much needed sauce. On the plus, this thing is HUGE and exactly 10 bucks. And it’s a good response to a challenge. And since the profit margin on this thing is so minuscule, I applaud them for endeavoring this challenge. My only suggestions if they try this next time is to try and make this thing a Reuben version. Keep the cheese and bacon, but add the kraut, sauce, and some corned beef. That would be redonkulous.

did you watch the schnitz down with saltines?

Are they only using veal or can we get it with chicken?
