Käsekrainer

Käsekrainer, pork sausage with pockets of cheese, grilled until it splits. Vienna's sausage, and the reason for the stop.

Late night

A sausage stand on the Döblinger Gürtel that Leopold Mlynek opened between the wars, still run by the family. Vienna eats its sausages standing up, and this stand has fed it for nearly a century.
