Schnitzel Throwdown

I don’t generally talk about work on this blog, so suffice it to say, I’m working on a new startup, and my friend Lance has offered my company some desks in his office space.  He’s the CEO of NextNewNetworks, but there are a couple of other startups working in this space as well.  It’s a great environment, in part because there are often videos being shot right in the office (sometimes with elaborate costumes), but also because it’s great to be among other tech professionals working on building early stage companies.

Anyone who follows me on twitter (@dobsohn) will know that I’ve been evangelizing the Schnitzel & Things food truck online, but I’ve also been talking them up offline too.  This includes at the office, so last week I took a few people, Lance and Vanessa from NextNewNetworks and Gidon from Boxee, with me to the truck.  Gidon claimed he eats a lot of schintzel, and he makes it at home at least once a week.  So he offered to do a little throwdown, where he’d bring in his own schnitzel for lunch this week.  Today was the day.

Gidon’s schnitzel was well seasoned beyond just salt and pepper, as was his rice pilaf which had a great herbal flavor.  Together they made a very tasty lunch.  He had made it the night before and then we reheated it in the toaster oven today.  You could easily tell that it would be fantastic when it comes right out of the pan.  Better than schnitzel truck?  Let’s just say that I’d be very happy eating either one.
