habitually probing generalist

Tonight I accompanied Jenny in visiting one of the places in CU that she wanted to visit before heading off to the big city (literally; NYC).

We went to the Wienerschnitzel on Springfield (corporate vs. Wikipedia). When I was a kid in the north St. Louis suburbs we had a Wienerschnitzel so I thought it’d be nice to check it out.

This place was simply too funny! And the food was actually edible. I am going back, but next time I’m taking my camera. It is just too freakin’ odd not to document the extreme weirdness that is Wienerschnitzel. There are at least 20 perfect documentary-style photos that could be taken in there. I am not kidding.

I do have to wonder why the extreme and ridiculous level of choice didn’t freak me out as much as say Cold Stone Creamery. Maybe I just take my ice cream far more seriously than my hot dogs? Well, duh, Mark!

Then again, the company could contribute to the experience. Going in to Cold Stone Creamery all alone was just sort of overwhelming, and led to a serious rejection of consumer choice (normal for me). Doing most anything new with Jenny is an experience on a much different (and fun) level. I do think Wienerschnitzel is just a bit over-the-top, but it was in a fun way. We’ll just have to see how I react if I go back alone.

But going back I am (with camera), and in the name of culinary science I’m going to get me a chili cheese dog with pastrami on a pretzel bun. The only other choice is do I go with the all beef dog or the turkey dog? Hmm…? That’s a tough one.
