最老牌的美国热狗是哪一家?

据塞茨（Sharon Seitz）和米勒（Stuart Miller）在他们合著的《纽约市岛屿纵观》（The Other Islands of New York City）一书所述，费尔特曼甚至说服展望公园（Prospect Park）和康尼岛铁路（Coney Island Railroad）的总裁卡尔弗（Andrew Culver）延长新铁路的运行时间，好给游客时间能在费尔特曼餐厅吃晚餐。巅峰时期，费尔特曼餐馆每天要烹制4万根红色热肠才能满足游客的需要，此外还有环境宜人的海洋馆所提供的海鲜大餐。1910年去世时，费尔特曼已身家不菲。彼时，费尔特曼的公司由儿子查尔斯（Charles）和阿尔弗雷德（Alfred）管理，员工超过1000人。到20世纪20年代，费尔特曼海洋餐厅被认为是全世界最大的餐厅。

In the midst of this early 20th-Century red hot boom, the Feltman family hired a Polish immigrant named Nathan Handwerker whose job was to slice the rolls. According to Lloyd Handwerker (Nathan's grandson) in his book Famous Nathan, after two friends encouraged Handwerker to open up his own red hot business, he sometimes slept on the kitchen floor at Feltman's to save money. Then in 1916, armed with a $300 loan and his wife's family's recipe, Handwerker opened his own shop mere blocks away from his old employer. Handwerker realised that to compete he needed to appeal to the masses, so he sold his hot dogs at a nickel each, undercutting Feltman's, who by then, charged a dime for theirs.
