When I was a little kid, I thought that Kaiserschmarren was made out of “the Kaiser” and I didn’t want to eat it 😂

[michaelgrabner]

Tafelspitz is actually just the name of the cut ..the cut "Tafelspitz" is from the end of the round top = basically the rump cap located directly before the tail from a young ox and is the most expensive cut of meat from beef.

The exactly same dish (exactly the same preparing + exactly the same sidedishes) is also made with an other cut from the oxen´s shoulder as well but then the dish isn´t named "Tafelspitz" obviously and has a more favourable prize.

The coffee with the whipped cream is named "Einspänner" (= literally translated kinda "One harness") which is actually the term describing "a one horse carriage"..while "a two horse carriage" is called "Zweispänner" basically literally meaning "Two harness"
The horse carriage drivers in the past used to get that type of coffee in their own personal glass (= a classical wine glas with a handle = that´s why it is nowadays "traditionally served" in that sort of glass) in order to take away for drinking it at their carriages´coach box (no time for them to sit in the coffee houses) and the big chunk of whipped cream had just the purpose to keep the coffee beneath the cream hot by sealing the coffee from the ambient air....when that particular coffee also got additionally a shot of cherry rum then that coffee is named "Fiaker" instead, which is the Viennese term for "a carriage driver" and also used as a general colloquial term for horse carriages no matter if harnessed one horse (=Einspänner) or two horses (=Zweispänner)

Amazing video! Great visual and audio quality, awesome content.. and you guys don't feel like you have to be in perfection mode all the time, very casual and lovely!

If you loved the potato salad, travel to the region Styria (Graz, second largest city and very underrated. Great city) and try the Kürbiskernöl. It’s pumpkin seed oil which sounds “odd” but truly amazing. They eat it with potato salad, a corn salad or just salad. It’s my favorite from that region.

[bodac]

We really enjoyed your Austrian food tour. We especially loved that you guys put the price of the food you guys ate at each location. Can't wait till the next video.

Hi Claire & Chad, I want to thank you guys for this recommendation!! I visited Vienna & I made a reservation for October10th in advance at Figlmülle, we had the “Wiener Schnitzel” with the Sálate and also tried that soda you guys had, all amazing 😋😜 thanks 🙏🏼

[stefanmaier]

One thing about the Schnitzel. It looks good, but really well made Schnitzel doesn't have the Breadcrumb covering fully glued to the meat. The art is to have it gold brown with little bubbles of air forming under the breadcrumbs. That gives a Schnitzel a bit of a wavey form, instead of the flat board form yours had. Just a bit of nitpicking there.

[Silvi]

the noodles served with gulasch are called Spätzle, thats also a very typical dish in switzerland, Austria and Germany


the butter is put into cold water to prevent melting of it

[georgemckinnon]

Wonderful music choice and great culture to experience and show us. Thank you!

[raymondstockman]

Really enjoy your videos. Your editing and music is top notch very professional I always get excited when I see use have a new video.❤

[StephandPete]

Bookmarking this for our visit to Vienna this fall! Thanks so much. This was so comprehensive and informative!

[bodvargregersen]

Beautiful video on Austria. Austrian food looks very tempting and I learned a lot from Chad’s fun facts of the Austrian grandeur during the days of the Austrian empire.

[jeffreybright]

Yes, the food in Austria is lovely.. those noodles are Spaetzle, i really liked them too when we were there. We did the Ferris wheel at night, which was really nice too, with all the city lights.. and hardly any people and had the car to ourselves . I found out from a german lady in a beer hall, they like the long glass (500ml ) of beer.. so it doesn`t go flat too fast. i was drinking Steins lol Very nice presentation.Nice couple too.

[jhdct]

Thank you so much for your dining recommendations. I went to Pfudl and had the exact same dish as you. It was FANTASTIC! A wonderful experience.

[Basshunter]

that "carnival" you mentioned, where the Ferris Wheel is located, is called "Würstelprater" and is located in the Wiener Prater, you can walk there the whole year and the rides are open from March till October. There is also a very famous restaurant called "Schweizerhaus", the next time you have to try the pork knuckle and some Erdäpfelpuffer (potatoe pancakes?!) there!!!

[rd_rae]

As a local it’s nice to see how you enjoyed your time! Yes, those were the more expensive and even touristy places (e.g. Central), but that’s ok and why not spoil yourselves. It’s fun to see when Americans do cheers with food too, which is not common in Europe at all to my knowledge 🙂

[haleyhall]

Austria was one of my favorite countries that I’ve been to! So excited you guys are there! 🎉

I was always told my family has ancestors from south Austria. Loved watching this video showing some of the cuisine! Someday I hope to travel there. It would be neat to walk in my ancestors shoes somewhat :)
