最老牌的美国热狗是哪一家?

In 1871, Feltman leased a small seaside plot on West 10th Street and opened a restaurant called Feltman's Ocean Pavilion. With success came expansion, and by the turn of the century, Feltman's humble pie cart had grown into a full-on empire spanning an entire block – complete with nine restaurants, a roller coaster, carousel, ballroom, outdoor movie theatre, hotel, beer garden, bathhouse, pavilion and Alpine village that once hosted US president William Howard Taft.

1871年，费尔特曼在西10街租了一小块临海的土地，开了一家名为费尔特曼海洋馆（Feltman's Ocean Pavilion）的海滨餐厅。生意的成功带来了生意规模的扩大。到世纪之交，他那辆简陋的馅饼推车已经演变成为一个全面开花的商业帝国，占据了整个街区：总共包括九家餐厅、一座过山车、一台旋转木马、一家舞厅、一家露天电影院、一家旅馆、一个露天啤酒店、一家澡堂、一个露天售卖亭和一个曾接待过美国总统塔夫脱（William Howard Taft）的高山度假村。

According to Sharon Seitz and Stuart Miller in their book, The Other Islands of New York City, Feltman even persuaded Andrew Culver, president of the Prospect Park and Coney Island Railroad, to extend his new railroad's timetable so customers could stay at Feltman's for dinner. At its peak, Feltman's managed to churn out up to 40,000 red hots a day, as well as seafood dinners in the more salubrious surroundings of his Ocean Pavilion complex. Feltman died in 1910 a wealthy man. His company, by then managed by his sons Charles and Alfred, employed more than 1,000 people, and by the 1920s, Feltman's was considered the largest restaurant in the world.
