Der Wienerschnitzel
Back in the day, nothing hit quite like a chili dog from Der Wienerschnitzel on a warm afternoon—with its bright yellow A-frame buildings and red-lettered signs. You didn’t need fancy menus, just a few bucks and a craving for something fast, hot, and delicious. Opened in 1961, it was more than just a hot dog stand—it was a memory maker. Whether you grabbed a quick bite after school, stopped in on the way to the beach, or made it a Saturday lunch tradition, Der Wienerschnitzel had a way of weaving itself into the everyday moments of American life. They may have dropped the “Der” somewhere along the way, but for many, it’s always been Der Wienerschnitzel—and always will be. Do you have fond memories of this food spot? Share it with us!
