From Germany to Coney Island, here's a history lesson on the hot dog
sales were up by as much as 127%, and that was well before grilling season started."Americans eat an estimated 7 billion hot dogs between Memorial Day and Labor Day," Eric Mittenthal, president of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, said.
"A good number of the early [Germans] came from the Palatines," which is a general area surrounding the actual city of Frankfurt, explains Kraig. Frankfurt, Kraig said, refers to the region of origin, though the actual food does not necessarily come from Frankfurt itself.
When popularity surged — Michael Quinn, himself a Coney Island historian, said that, in that first summer, the cart sold about 4,000 hot dogs — Feltman set his sights higher, entering into a restaurant and hotel partnership and opening a sprawling resort in Coney Island in 1873.
"They didn't have machines back then, so one of the bun-slicers that the Feltman family hired was Nathan Handwerker," Michael Quinn said."He worked as Feltman's as a bun-slicer!"
