According to history, Kaiserschmarrn was first prepared for the Francis Joseph I (1830-1916), the "Kaiser" (Emperor) of Austria.

There are several different stories, but most common version is this one. Emperor's wife, Elisabeth of Bavaria, was obsessed with maintaining a minimal waistline. She directed the royal chef to prepare only light desserts for her, much to the consternation and annoyance of her notoriously austere husband. Upon being presented with the chef's masterpiece, she found it too rich and refused to eat it. The exasperated Francis Joseph quipped, "Now let me see what "Schmarrn" our chef has cooked up".
