Irvine, Calif.- based Wienerschnitzel is adding gourmet bratwursts and Italian sausages to its menu, for limited time offer to celebrate the world’s largest folk festival. In honor of the internationally-celebrated holiday famous for its traditional German food, music and beer, the national 331-restaurant chain will offer both gourmet quarter-pound sausages now through October 29, at participating locations.

Wienerschnitzel® Bratwurst is served traditional-style with grilled onions and mustard on a warm, brat bun while the Italian sausage is topped with peppers, onions and mustard. According to the brand, both new offerings deliver the authentic taste visitors would experience at a traditional Oktoberfest celebration.

“Oktoberfest is all about fun, families and great food – and so is Wienerschnitzel,” explained J.R. Galardi, executive vice president at Wienerschnitzel. “People know us for our German name and world-famous hot dogs, so it’s exciting to bring these two elements together and deliver the authentic taste and spirit of Oktoberfest right at our restaurants nationwide.”

Wienerschnitzel will support the limited-time offering with original 30-, 15- and 10-second TV commercials created by Amusement Park of Santa Ana, Calif. The advertisements will air in

13 markets throughout the Western regions as part of an integrated campaign including digital, social, PR and in-store activities.
