Wienerschnitzel Celebrates Oktoberfest with New Grilled Bratwurst

Wienerschnitzel, the world’s largest hot dog chain, is tipping its stein to the company’s “sort of German” roots by offering Grilled Bratwurst in celebration of Oktoberfest. Sausage and Oktoberfest fans are encouraged to break out their lederhosen and take part in the 200-year-old global celebration by heading to their nearest Wienerschnitzel to try the new Grilled Bratwurst, available now through October. Smothered with mustard and kraut or grilled onions, it’s like an Oktoberfest in your mouth.

“With our brand named Wienerschnitzel, we have to have some fun with our fans around this historic holiday!” said Doug Koegeboehn, Wienerschnitzel’s Chief Marketing Officer. “I love Oktoberfest and the best thing to eat during this annual event is a grilled Bratwurst. Even our mascot, The Delicious One, has donned his lederhosen for the celebration.”
