schnitzel, my schnitzel

A few weeks ago I was walking under a light snow fall in Vienna. We were only there for a day tour, luckily our tour guide and driver were kind enough to squeeze showing us the main points of interest and for a finale, led us to Figlmueller  for an authentic taste of the iconic and legendary Viennese Schnitzel.
 
It took almost an hour for 6 orders of schnitzel and potato salad to come to our table - we were thinking how difficult can frying some meat be? well now with this video I now know why, and in all fairness it was the best schnitzel I have ever had to (including the one's Ive had during my first trip to Austria in Tyrol a few years ago)  and the potato salad that we ordered with it is THE perfect accompaniment to it.
