Wienerschnitzel (NEC 72nd & Grover)

[Padre]

There was a note on the Omaha Food Lovers Facebook page that said Wienerschnitzel was coming to Omaha.

This looks great. Where is the closest one?

Looks like maybe Colorado and Illinois would be the closest

This on their website shows their midwest expansion plans. It shows NE as available for expansion so I would hold my breath on they are on their way already.

It's called Wienerschnitzel but they do not sell Wienerschnitzel. I went through the whole range of human emotion. I'll stick with the Korean hot dogs in Kansas City (https://www.ssongshotdogus.com/).

The person who wrote the Facebook post, Rachel Steiner, said

After lots of research and due diligence, we signed exclusive rights to bring Wienerschnitzel to the Omaha market! Where do you think these hot dogs joints should be placed?!?! ”

[djc311]

I suppose there's certainly a possibility that could have been done - at the same time I was involved in different franchise opportunities in the past and none of them would have signed exclusive developmental rights to a market unless there were plans in place on opening them (including a specific # of units within "X" amount of time and where they may be placed). I would be a little surprised if there wasn't a commitment to AT LEAST one specific location before acquiring an exclusivity on an entire market. Of course I guess if someone wrote a check for enough $$$ up front perhaps a company will make exceptions.

Seems odd that the franchisee is asking the public where they want one of these. Having grown up on the west coast, these were in most cities we lived in. However, I don't think we have ever been to one. I guess we are just not hot dog people. For some reason, the first area of the Metro that comes in mind for a Wienerschnitzel is Council Bluffs along Broadway. Seems to fit the type of area I would see those distinctive A-frame buildings.

HA! Or Old "L" St where the car dealerships once dominated that area!

My fav hot dog place as a kid was WC Frank - hands down, the BEST place in the area growing up in the 80's if you couldn't make it to an actual amusement park such as Peony Park.

It's kind of funny you mention L, because I was thinking the area north of L street on 24th. That area of south O reminds me of so many streets I've gone through in early 90's California.

Wouldn't it be something if Omaha landed a Whataburger or In N Out?

Would probably be like the chaos created when Chick-Fil-A opened (which still blows my mind... it's not that great!). Have you seen the contraption they built over the drive thru lanes at their 175th and Center location?

A Whataburger with access to a stable supply of green Chile would make it possible to create a green Chile cheeseburger with Nebraska beef. A nexus in taste would open and a new era of haute cuisine would burst upon the huddle masses yearning for the perfect burger.

It should happen, but it won't. Blocked by the nefarious dealings of "Big Junk Food" who have carved up the country into zones much like Big Beer did back in the last century.

With Whataburger in KC now (and doing very well) it's only a matter of time before they come to Omaha.

Does Omaha still have Chicago Dawg House Omaha around here, that used to be near Midtown Crossing?

Unless they have closed isn't there one inside Oakview? Have not been inside in forever so no first hand verification for me.

I don't believe they are related. The one that was at Mid town crossing (and had relocated from 108th and Maple) was Chicago Dawg House. The one at Oak View is Chicago Dog 42.

Wienermobile, Nutmobile make a stop in Omaha

KMTV 3 News Now
Two of the country's most iconic vehicles made a stop in Omaha this week

[nativeomahan]

I would just be thrilled if the metro once again had a decent German restaurant! With so many locals having German heritage it confounds me that we don’t have several good German restaurants here.

[Coyote]

Take Time to Smile: Wienermobile, NutMobile pay Omaha a visit

You hope you were able to "ketchup" with the Oscar Meyer Weiner-Mobile or maybe you come out of your shell with the Planter's Nut-Mobile. Both came to Omaha and we couldn't resist. The Nut-Mobile is out of here but look for the Weiner-Mobile over the weekend in Ashland and South Omaha.

[Coyote]

RIP Wienermobile: Famous ride gets a new name

(CNN) – It’s time to say goodbye to a well-known classic ride – the Wienermobile’s name has been retired. The beloved Wienermobile will hit the road this summer with a new name – the Frankmobile. The name change is in honor of the brand’s 100% beef franks’ new recipe. The fleet of six Frankmobiles features new exterior decals, including one that reads “please do not lick.”

That’s like opening a Hot Dog’s R Us, but you’re only gonna sell Wiener schnitzel. Free fries if you wear lederhosen. Thursday night slap-dancing contest.

Whataburger is fine, but not nearly as good as Shake Shack or In N Out.

I think its funny that because he doesn't like it, the city should outlaw its existence. Like cmon bro. But I agree, I'm not blown away by Whataburger and I'd definitely take Shake Shack or In n Out first.

I like Whataburger, including the breakfast.

Had my first experience with Shake Shack at the Atlanta airport. Only had a shake and fries. Not sure if they were just a bad batch, but the fries were the most bland I have ever had. Didn't even finish them. The shake was fine, but considering in'ts in the name of the restaurant I guess I left disappointed.

I was just thinking this. Isn't wienerschnitzel a breaded veal cutlet? So, the one thing Wienerschnitzel doesn't sell is wienerschnitzel. lol

According to Tasting History with Max Miller, the name was a suggestion from the wife of the owner of Taco Bell. She got it from a cookbook, and thought it sounded more exotic than their first choice, John’s Hotdogs!

Of these-

Whataburger is best. In ‘n Out is okay, but nothing to write home about (and their fries are blah). Never had Shake Shack, so I can’t comment about that place..

Don & Millies has, by far, the best burger out of those 3 and it’s local Omaha..

To each their own, LOL…

[almighty_tuna]

I've been on a strict keto diet for about 18mo now, which means my burgers come without a bun. It's a great equalizer eating a burger by itself; you can really discern sh1tty patties and seasoning. At the moment, my favorite burger in town is the swiss mushroom burger at Clancy's. In-n-Out, Bronco's, etc are all just straight up lackluster and bland.

Agreed to a few things that Don & Millies has a great burger and that In N Out fries are pretty garbage. You have to order them well done and even then you have about a 3 minute window where they're no longer good.

If I had the choice of Whataburger/McDs/Burger King all right across the street from each other, I'm probably going McDs unless it's easier to get back to where I'm going from Whataburger.

Never had a burger at Don and Millie's but I've held a grudge ever since they dropped their ham and cheese Frenchee.

To this day the logic makes no sense as to how they offer that sandwich... it used to be during lent they'd get rid of the Ham and offer Tuna/Cheese. My wife's Italian Catholic family recognizes lent so nothing against the religion or their beliefs but I've never understood the concept of getting rid of a piece of ham and exchanging it for tuna.

Second, if they do want to go about it that way it's still irritating that after lent one year they simply said screw it, we're never bringing the ham option back. Regardless of the quality of the "meat" inside the sandwich I felt like I was getting more of a meal with the ham. Now it's a glorified fried grilled cheese thing. Sucks!
