Nathan's Famous: An Unauthorized View of America's Favorite Frankfurter Company

Synopsis

&“A heartwarming, poignant and even-handed account of the quintessential American immigrant/family business struggle to succeed against all odds&” (Larry King). Nathan&’s Famous chronicles the history and business strategies of company founder Nathan Handwerker that led to the success of an iconic international brand and two of America&’s most loved foods: the Nathan&’s Famous Frankfurter and Crinkle-cut French Fries. Brimming with photos of historic Coney Island, New York, Nathan&’s Famous restaurants, and intimate family memories of author, former company Senior Vice president and grandson William Handwerker, Nathan&’s Famous details entrepreneurial spirit, business lessons, dramatic corporate missteps and growth. William includes insights into three generations of the Handwerker family, beginning with the founder&’s early life, growing up in extreme poverty in Galicia, Poland, as well as his own sons and grandson who contributed to expanding geographic locations, menu and the overall brand. Nathan&’s may have started as a small hot dog stand in 1916, but by sticking to his philosophy to &“give &’em and let &’em eat,&” he was able to beat his competition by providing top quality food at low prices. Nathan&’s Famous reveals the successes, trials and tribulations of growing Nathan&’s original vision into the international frankfurter corporation it is today.
