THE Dish: Chef Eduard Frauneder's Wiener Schnitzel

(CBS News) Hailing from Austria, Chef Eduard Frauneder is one of the world's youngest Michelin Starred chefs. He began his culinary career at age 12, working alongside his father in the multiple bakeries and pastry shops he owned in Vienna.

Eduard began his formal training at the Vienna Culinary Institute. After his studies, Eduard opened a concept restaurant, Bistro Andromeda, for the United Nations headquarters in Vienna. He remained the executive chef until taking the position of personal chef for the Austrian ambassador to the United Kingdom. From his exposure in the diplomatic world, Eduard developed a keen sense for haute cuisine and the urge to travel with his skills around the world.
