Summary

"Beginning with just five feet of counter space on Coney Island in 1916, Nathan's Famous--based on the basic principles of quality ingredients, hard work and a price everyone could afford--soon stretched across the globe, launching the hot dog as an American food staple and Nathan Handwerker to national fame. But the story behind the dog is even tastier ... Written by Nathan's own grandson, and at once a portrait of a man, a family and the changing face of a nation through a century of promise and progress, Famous Nathan is a dog's tale that snaps and satisfies with every page."--, Provided by publisher
