From a nickel to an empire, the extraordinary rise of one man, a nation and America's favorite snack. Before the gut-busting eating contests and franchise stores across the country, there was a single man, Nathan Handwerker. An Eastern European Jewish immigrant who left the small provincial world he knew for a fresh start in America, Nathan arrived at Ellis Island speaking not a word of English, unable to read or write, and with twenty-five dollars hidden in his shoes. He had a simple goal: work hard and carve out a piece of the American dream. But history had bigger plans for Nathan.Beginning in 1916, with just five feet of counter space on Coney Island’s Surf Avenue, Nathan sells his frankfurters for five cents. As New York booms, bringing trains and patrons to the seashore, so too does Nathan’s humble frankfurter stand. Soon Nathan’s Famous takes over the whole block, and Nathan gathers around him a dedicated core of workers (many who stay for decades) who help launch the hot dog as an American food staple. Even as the business soars, Nathan remains fiercely loyal to what matters most: his customers, workers, and family. There’s Ida, the wife he fell in love with because no one could peel an onion faster; Sammy, the counterman who could serve an astonishing sixty franks per minute; and then there are the heirs to the empire, Murray and Sol, whose differing visions for the future lead to clashes with their eternally demanding father. Success brings difficulties, and as the two sons vie over control of the family business, a universal story of success and ambition 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.

I’ve admired many of Gil Reavill’s books and feel I’m in the hands of a superb craftsman. I’m also a sucker for Jewish immigrant stories, and this is one hot dog of a tale. Young Nathan Handwerker from the Polish countryside escapes a darkening Europe two years before WWI and arrives at Ellis Island with absolutely nothing. Four years later, he’s created the greatest hot dog stand in history. His “give ’em-feed ’em” ethic is the foundation of the fast food industry, and the original Nathan’s of Coney Island has never been surpassed. Professional hot-dog countermen became lifers at Nathan’s. One, Sammy Fariello, could serve 60 hot dogs in one minute, making change all the while. Nathan’s served New York’s best hot dogs machine-gun style, in a sweep, ignoring no one. During its first seven decades, before corporate ownership, long lines of sun-baked customers received instant satisfaction with an ice cold lemonade. I fantasized about this level of service last week while waiting 15 minutes for coffee on a short line at Einstein’s Bagels at DFW Airport while five employees staggered aimlessly behind the counter, as if each had been hit over the back of the head with a frying pan. Gil Reavill also provides dollops of hot dog grease throughout this history, an ingredient I require. On the beachfront, not to mention in Coney Island itself, “coins with mystery schmutz of unknown origin” were the currency of this realm. (Just like at Show World.) The Nathan’s counter was the only jernt open all year round at Coney Island. A million of us have absolutely magical memories. I defy anyone to get through this book without yearning for a trip to Nathan’s right now.
