Franciszek Trześniewski

Franciszek Trześniewski was an early 20th-century Polish gourmand and cook. Born in Kraków, at that time belonging to Western Galicia, he is notable for the restaurant-bar he opened in Vienna in 1902, shortly before World War I. His spécialité de la maison were open sandwiches made of fresh, local dark bread cut into the typical rectangle-form with various spreads. After his death the bar was run by his daughter, Maria Trześniewska, who sold it in 1978.
