1kg Schnitzel Challenge

As mentioned in a previous post, myself and some friends went to The Austrian Schnitzelhaus in Erina. As well as a friendly get together, the main point of the night was to watch the boys attempt the 1kg Schnitzel Challenge; a monstrous 1kg of crumbed schnitty, chips and 1 litre of beer.
The rules were simple; finish it all in 1 hour. Sounds easy? Think again. I had high expectations that the 4 boys we were dining with would finish the challenge. However when the meal came out served on a platter, I was not so sure. An hour passed and all the boys had given the challenge a good go, but hadn't come anywhere close to finishing the food on their plates, and left feeling disappointed and 5kg heavier.

I ordered the Vienna Schnitzel; crumbed schnitzel with wedges of lemon, and a side order of Mushroom sauce. I was surprised at how delicious the meal was. The rich mushroom sauce was a winner with the schnitzel, and I left feeling satisfied. I enjoyed the vibe and interior of the restaurant, which really made you feel like you were dining in Austria. All in all a fun experience!
