Midtown Lunch

The Schnitzel & Things Truck was going to try out a new spot today (maybe on 50th btw. 6+7th?) But after yesterday’s “incident”, they will be closed. They hope to be back tomorrow (on Park btw. 26+27th). [via ML Twitter Tracker]

This just in from Lunch’er “Rich”: “The Schnitzel Truck is on fire. No idea what happened, but there’s smoke pouring out the back and the guy is giving people their money back, and on the phone with someone, maybe the Fire Dept?” And now Lunch’er “Chris” has checked in to say fire trucks have arrived, [...]

From @schnitzeltruck: “Hi guys, letting u know now, we are planning on changing our Tuesday location starting next week. Not enough peeps on 48thst. Will head west.” What, no celebs on 3rd Ave?  (Let the sadness begin.)

Is the Schnitzel & Things Truck the next Michael’s?  According to their twitter account, not only did Comedian Jeff Garlin (from Curb Your Enthusiasm) stop by the Schnitzel & Things Truck for a little photo op, but apparently Bobby Flay also walked by earlier today and was shouted at challenged to a throwdown by the [...]

I guess the Schnitzel & Things truck was inspired by last week’s This is Why You’re Fat Eat N Tweet Challenge, because on Friday they decided to wrap a bratwurst in pork schnitzel- you know, for schnitz and giggles*. They haven’t decided if they will add this… thing to the menu, which has yet to [...]

Nothing like a T-Mobile ad during the World Series (or the Office, or Top Chef) to raise your profile. The Schnitzel Truck is everywhere thanks to a brand new TV ad that seems to be everywhere.  The truck is only on for a few seconds, and I’m not exactly sure what a priest who text [...]

A couple of exciting tidbits from the world of Midtown street vending this morning.  First up, I just got word that Kwik Meal’s Muhammed Rahman will open his new pasta cart today.  It will be parked next to the OG Kwik Meal cart on 45th and 6th and will have three options: Angel hair w/ [...]

I finally got to try the Schnitzel Burger from the Schnitzel & Things Truck today.  It required me getting there at 11:40am (the line was already 11 people long, 30+ by the time a left at 12:05), but was completely worth it.  And after taking one bite… the music started loud and clear in my [...]

Still worth it for $10? I say yes.
A few weeks ago I did a post detailing how, despite all the hype and PR, none of the new school vendors are really making any money. Need proof? Well, here it is. After an insane week that included winning the Rookie of the Year Vendy Award, [...]

Thanks to Lunch’er “Masto” for sending along this photo of the new Schnitzel Burger introduced today by the Schnitzel & Things Truck…
I work on 48th, but a bunch of us couldn’t resist and headed down to get the schnitz burger. Just in time, apparently.. shortly after we ordered, there [...]
