Written by Nathan’s grandson, this is more than just a story of how his grandfather came to America, started his business and continued to be a national phenomenon. It is also the history of Coney Island. One gets the feeling of how Coney Island changed from a rich man’s playground to everyman’s weekend getaway to what is today. We read as Nathan grows his business, his family and tries to adapt to the changing times. I found this book to a very fascinating insight on the man, the legend, the area and the history. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"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 hotdog as an American food staple and Nathan Handwerker to national fame. But the story behind the dog is even tastier ... Fleeing Eastern Europe as the shadow of WWI looms large with nothing but twenty dollars in his socks, Nathan arrives in New York with the insatiable desire to make a better life, and within two years he sets up a shop of his own, hawking frankfurters for five cents at the sleepy little beach retreat of Coney Island. As New York booms, pushing trains and patrons to the shore, so too do Nathan's humble hotdogs. Within ten years he has the whole corner, and a brand as recognizable as Coca-Cola and Cracker Jack. Nathan's is famous. But with success comes difficulties, and as Nathan's two sons vie to inherit the family dynasty a story of Biblical proportions plays out, mirroring the corporatization of the American food industry. 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"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Born in 1892 to a poor Jewish family of 13 in Eastern Europe, Nathan become an apprentice at a bakery in a village near his family. Living in the store, he learned the value of hard work and developed an appreciation for good food and how it can bring people together. When it came time to emigrate to America, Nathan brought only the shoes on his feet, $28.00 in his pocket, and a determination to succeed.
