a trip to europe to pick up my in-laws' new car. in munich (or münchen as die deutschen say), we had lunch at bmw welt. it was an atrociously unattractive white sausage, so i'm going to spare y'all that photo and move onto our dinner in innsbruck.
i asked our lederhosened hotel concierge where we could find schnitzel. to his credit, he didn't roll his eyes at all, but instead gave us three options in the historical old town area. we found weinhaus happ and it looked cozy enough. the outdoor seating was nice because we could see the historical square, including the famous innsbruck golden roof. our waiter was not particularly friendly. i asked him to recommend an austrian beer and he gave me something that tasted only slightly better than PBR, so i think i did that wrong. my schweineschnitzel was pretty good, but nowhere near as good as the schnitzel from blaue gans in nyc. the fact that it wasn't drenched in cream sauce probably puts this schnitzel at a disadvantage. still, it had a nice crunch and paired perfectly with a wonderful salad of various pickled things. a good start to our european driving/eating tour.
