The original Wiener Schnitzel. Vienna. Austria.

The Wiener Schnitzel is world famous. It was invented in my home town about one and a half centuries ago. The original version is veal escalope pan fried in an egg / breadcrumb crust. If not veal, but pork or chicken, it must not be called “Wiener Schnitzel”.
There are hundreds of places in Vienna alone where you can get (Wiener) Schnitzel. However, there is one restaurant, that is special. It’s name is Meissl & Schadn. It was the place to eat out and be seen during the heydays of the Austro Hungarian Empire (until 1918), and epitomised the classic Viennese cuisine.
