Wienerschnitzel Map URL
John Kielbasa
Adriene Biondo
In 1961, fast-food entrepreneur John Galardi was pondering how to stand out in the fast-food business, when a vision popped into his 23-year-old head. Hot dogs, lots and lots of hot dogs. Soon after, the first der Wienerschnitzel opened in Wilmington, California. In 1962, a second restaurant was built that featured der Wienerschnitzel's signature red A-frame roof. It was the beginning of a revolutionary design that pioneered the drive-thru concept in Southern California. The company has since changed its name to simply "Wienerschnitzel" and grown to over 300 stores in ten states and Guam. It is now The World's Largest Hot Dog Chain. Courtesy of John R. Kielbasa.
