To open his hot dog stand, Nathan borrowed 300 dollars from his friends Jimmy Durante and Eddie Cantor, all of who worked at Feltman's restaurant. They urged him to sell his hot dogs for 5 cents, half the price of the competition.

I tried your hot dogs in Las Vegas on vacation. They are wonderful. You must bring a restaurant to Houston,Texas. After all, we are the 4th largest city in the U.S., surely we rate this great restaurant here. I never knew hot dogs were this good. Thank you very much.
