The expression "Wienerschnitzel" means "Viennese cutlet," a slice of veal which is breaded. The only relationship it has with hot dogs is that
Wienerwürstchen, or wieners, also originated in Vienna.
The franchise was originally called "Der Wienerschnitzel," but it should have been "Das Wienerschnitzel," since the noun is neuter.
