I Went out to lunch with a friend today . . . yah I have a few, ok? We went to the drive-thru because I'd also done my grocery shopping and I'm still getting exhausted trying to dissolve this blood clot thing in my head . . . but THAT's for another thread. I had this coupon for a chili cheese burger, a chili cheese hot dog, and chili cheese fries for ONLY $3.33. That comes to $1.11 per item . . .
WHAT A DEAL.
Only in AMERICA can you get such cheap, bad for you, fatty food like this at a place called Wienerschnitzel. It used to be called Der Wienerschnitzel, but that was way to german sounding, and no one here understood what the heck "Der" meant, so it got dropped a few years ago.
I'm actually surprised the WHOLE name wasn't changed at that point, mainly because . . . as the Brit's and other surrounding European countries know . . . a schnitzel is traditionally a pounded down veal cutlet, breaded, then fried and served with a lemmon wedge for flavor. But many German and Swiss restaurants serve it unbreaded with sauces, and it can be prepaired from chicken, pork, or even turkey. Although imho, nothing beats the old tried and true original veal, most Americans have absolutely NO IDEA what true Wienerschnitzel is.
On the other hand, I'M pretty DAMN SURE we get MANY PISSED OFF tourists here from Europe who see the Wienerschnitzel sign and breath a huge sigh of relief at the prospect of there being a delicious reprieve from all this fast food burger crapola . . . only to find what just might be the BIGGEST deception in a restaurant name to EVER grace our fast food street ways.
Oh, I forgot to mention, my friend and I split the meal. I got the dog, he got the burger, and we split the fries. For many here, that coupon feeds just one person and THAT'S a SCARY sight to behold. It really doesn't matter to me that I ate half of that, because I STILL ate half a crap menue for lunch. But their chili's pretty damn good!!
