Wienerschnitzel is an American fast food chain that specializes in hot dogs. The company was founded in 1961 by former Taco Bell employee John Galardi as Der Wienerschnitzel. Despite the name, the company does not ordinarily sell Wiener schnitzel, doing so once as a promotion.[2] Wienerschnitzel locations are found predominantly in California and Texas; others are found in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Louisiana, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Washington, as well as the US territory of Guam.[3] Outside the United States of America, there are stores located in Panama and Chile.[4]
The chain is most notable for the A-frame roofs of its older restaurants, similar to the original structures used by IHOP, Tastee-Freez, Nickerson Farms, and Whataburger. The chain's advertising mascot is an anthropomorphized hot dog known as The Delicious One.[5][6]
Wienerschnitzel sponsors the Wiener Nationals, the de facto national dachshund racing championship series in the United States.[7]
