It's About Time

The World's First Wienerschnitzel Just Got Turned Into a Historic Landmark

The OG Wienerschnitzel gets its due

Did you know Wienerschnitzel is a local brand? It sure is — and now the original location in Wilmington, CA is getting the heritage treatment. The Pacific Coast Highway outlet near Long Beach is set to be listed as a historic landmark, says CBS, meaning the still-running location will be forever preserved.

I Want To Try These

The Cowboy: Bacon western cheeseburger, anyone? You’ve got to love barbecue sauce, but otherwise this thing is a winner.


Old Town Dog: More bacon-wrapped goodness, but swap in jalapeƱos, chipotle aioli, and a dusting of cojita cheese. Nice for anyone interested in some fire.


Scott Baioli: The ‘dog next door, with smoked bacon, American cheese, garlic aioli, and caramelized onions. Simple, delicious.

Did You Know - Nathan's Hot Dog's Edition

15 Things You Didn’t Know About Nathan’s

1. The super-duper-secret seasoning recipe hasn’t changed since 1916 
  • Nathan’s original recipe -- and we mean ORIGINAL original, like from Nathan Handwerker’s wife Ida’s grandma -- is the exact same one they used starting at the original restaurant stand at the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues 99 years ago, which means when you bite into a Nathan’s Famous, you’re not only tasting America, but you are ingesting history.

From A Hot Dog Aficionado

The 10 Hot Dog Commandments With Doug Sohn

3. Thy wiener shall be made of meat
  • For carnivores, beef, pork, veal, or some combination thereof are preferred. As with all meats, the source is important. Your local butcher is usually going to be your best bet and there are certainly acceptable brands in your supermarket. In Chicago, just use Vienna Beef. They're the best.
7. The ends of thy hot dog can hang past the ends of thy bun, but not the other way around
  • And thy bun shall be fresh. Steamed or toasted is preferred. Some people like the side cut, others the top cut. I guess this is a regional thing. Buns must be sturdy enough to hold the wiener and toppings without falling apart.
9. Thou shall treat the hot dog as thou would treat the finest fish, fowl, or expensive food item
  • Love, care, and attention to detail shall not be ignored. Having said that, hot dogs are very forgiving and will last a pretty long time in a steam tray or the indirect heat part of the grill.
