Midtown Lunch

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 [...]

Hot of their mention in the $25 and under column in the NYT, the Schnitzel & Things Truck will introduce their new “Schnitzel Burger” today, and it sounds completely out of control: “A half pound of good quality beef dipped in panko and fried. $7 burger comes with cheese, cukes and scallion relish, mmmm. [...]

If my raving about how good the Schnitzel & Things Truck wasn’t enough to get you to go, maybe this will excite you: “Breaking news from the schnitzel lab!!! We have just experimented and came up with a winner!! Look out for the schnitzel burger comin soon!!”

Plenty has been written about the new Schnitzel & Things Truck here on Midtown Lunch since they first hit the scene a few months ago. We watched their twitter feed for the first month, tracking them all around the city- serving up their Austrian style fried cutlets to every part of the city but [...]

According to a comment posted yesterday by Lunch’er “Multisync”, the Schnitzel & Things Truck didn’t have the wiener schnitzel they had promised on Twitter yesterday- but there’s a pretty good explanation for it. I got this message yesterday from the truck’s owner Oleg:
“We were very excited to finally bring Wiener Schnitzel for the rest [...]
