Midtown Lunch

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 [...]

Veal cutlet lovers, get ready for some love because this exciting news came in on the old Twitter Tracker… the Schnitzel Truck is planning to be on 48th btw. Park+Lex today, serving “traditional wiener schnitzel”! $8 for a sandwich, $10 for a platter.

It seems that every time I advise the new crop of trucks to find… how should I put it… less threatening corners of Midtown to park in, a common theme pops up among those who disagree: Natural Selection.  Survival of the fittest baby!  Let the carts all park where they want, and fight it out [...]

Apparently the Schnitzel & Things Truck didn’t like what I had to say this morning about the issues they had yesterday on 43rd & 6th Ave:
“Just saw your little piece on ML. To be quite honest I don’t really care who you side with. It doesn’t matter to us one bit. But one thing you [...]

By the time I walked up to the Schnitzel & Things Truck around 1:30pm yesterday, most of the action had already ended.  But  I was just in time to catch a Mister Softee truck driver berating the owners of the Schnitzel truck.  Explaining to them that his truck had been parked on this corner for [...]

As predicted, this just in from the Schnitzel Truck’s Twitter feed: “We parked on corner of 41st and 6th but immediate problems with halal guys!! Come and show support! We won’t stand for this bullying!!”

It’s good to see that a little heat doesn’t stop Midtown Lunchers from coming out for the schnitzel! (Considering it was the Schnitzel & Things truck’s first visit to Midtown, you know there was going to be a crowd.) By Noon one commenter reported that the line was ten deep, at [...]
