German Catering in Denver

Schnitzelwirt

It all started with an idea in 2015. Corporate life had just taken it's toll on our founder and he was looking for the next challenge... Mario was born and raised in Austria in Burgenland. From a young age he loved helping his grandmother in the kitchen. Once he graduated from high school, he began his career with an apprenticeship at the world famous Hotel Sacher in Vienna. In 1985 he came to visit his mother in sister in the US and decided to stay here. Through the years he’s tried many different professions, but somehow always found his way back into gastronomy; helping his mother in her restaurant in Texas and Las Vegas. Erika Co-Founder was also born and raised in Austria, in the Steiermark. She also took a turn in the food service industry with training in cooking and came to the US in 1985 just a few months before Mario. Over the years she raised a family and took up the nursing profession. Erika also continues to have a passion for cooking and remains very active with her Austrian community. In 2016 Mario and Erika met. Throughout 2017 they spoke about various business ventures and in 2018 born was the food truck idea..., They started to cater little get-togethers, weddings and office lunches. Mario and Erika continued those catering events and made a bid for a big festival "A Taste of Colorado " https://www.atasteofcolorado.com, and a very nice event, the Austrian Christmas @ Schweiger Ranch. In February 2019 they purchased the truck, finally; A 2009 Workhorse W62 Stepvan, with 22 feet of kitchen space. it was built by BN Fabrications and completed in July of 2019. The truck has 6 burner stove, double ovens, 48" griddle and 2 x 70-100 lbs deep fryers, 2 full size refrigerators and 1 full size freezer. It is is fully license in Denver and the rest of Colorado. On August 4th, we had our Grand Food Truck Opening. Even that did not come too easy; the day before, they were driving on E-470, when we blew a tire. The inside driver side rear tire tore a hole in the floor when it blew. They called DTI Trucks that could come out on a Friday evening in rush hour to come rescue then and replace the tire on the side of the road. They then called the builder for some help and they made our grand opening and are working their way through the metro area delivering the best in German cuisine in the US.
