最老牌的美国热狗是哪一家?

在那之前，我一直以为康尼岛热狗自始至终都指的是内森热狗店的热狗，因为自我们记事以来，内森热狗这个名字就一直是这家海滨主题公园的代名词。然而，尽管内森热狗自诩“正宗老字号”，事实却证明他们甚至不是海滨木板步道上第一家制作热狗的公司。据布鲁克林本地人、康尼岛历史学家奎因（Michael Quinn）所说，早在内森热狗店诞生的几十年前，一个名叫费尔特曼（Charles L Feltman）的德国移民就在这条繁华的大道上开始卖热狗了。

Feltman came to the US in 1856. Like many German immigrants at the time, he brought with him a fondness for the frankfurter sausages that were common in his homeland. A trained baker, Feltman opened a Brooklyn bakery in 1865 and earned a decent living delivering pies to Coney Island businesses from a push cart, while selling clams on the side.

费尔特曼在1856年来到美国。和当时的很多德国移民一样，他带来了对法兰克福香肠的喜爱。这种香肠在他的祖国很常见。作为一名受过训练的面包师，费尔特曼于1865年在布鲁克林开了一家面包店，靠推着手推车给康尼岛上的商家送馅儿饼和在街边卖蛤蜊过上了体面的生活。

As the newly opened Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad brought many more people to the seaside from Manhattan in the late 1860s, customers told Feltman that they wanted to eat hot food, not cold clams, according to Richard F Snow, the former editor of American Heritage Magazine. So in 1867, Feltman called on the wheelwright who'd originally made his cart and asked him to modify it. The craftsman built a custom charcoal brazier for cooking sausages and a metal box for warming bread.
