I grew up in Coney Island.
As much as I loved their hot dogs, the fries and corn on the cob were the real treat.
The Nathan legend ——when it first opened, people were afraid to eat the hot dogs having heard stories WRT the mfg of hot dogs.
Nathan hired actors to wear doctor’s coats and stethescoopes to stand outside and eat the dogs-—figuring that would allay any fears.
He was right.
