Super-sized schnitzel tower puts diners to the test

The latest food challenge to hit Brisbane is stacked, and frankly there’s enough chicken in it to feed a family. But herein lies the challenge — you’re meant to down The Shnitzelmeister alone.

The latest food challenge to hit Brisbane is stacked, and frankly there’s enough chicken in it to feed a family.

But herein lies the challenge — you have to down The Shnitzelmeister alone.

The super-sized schnitty tower is stacked six high with a mammoth 1kg of chicken topped with napoli sauce, ham and cheese served with four side dishes.

The Schnitzelmeister.

It’ll set you back $80 at Rockpool Dining Group’s Munich Brauhaus, The Bavarian or The Bavarian Beerhaus but finish it in under and hour and it’s free.

A spokeswoman for The Rockpool Dining group said the trick to the challenge was using the entire hour to get through it.

“Refrain from overindulging at breakfast and make sure you save space for the mother of all meals,” she said.

“And wear stretchy pants for the occasion.”

For those not up to the challenge, The Schnitzelmeister is intended as a meal for three people.

The chicken tower is the latest in a long line of food challenges that ask diners to chow down for discounted or free meals across Brisbane.

At Miss Kays, purveyor of American-style burgers, you can take The Big Kay’s Challenge ($35).

Here, the stopwatch is set for 15 minutes and the meal is five beef patties, five slices of American cheese, lettuce, tomato and MK sauce with a double serving of super saucy fries. Down it before the buzzer and you get a $30 Miss Kay’s voucher.

At Ribs and Rumps you can take the Man vs Meat Challenge ($99.95).

That’s 1.2kg of rump steak, 1kg of beef ribs with 800 grams of chips, 200 grams of onion rings and a garden salad.

Finish it all and eat for free plus receive a Ribs and Rumps specialty steak knife.
