The Dogs Are Okay, But The Fries Are Addictive

Dead: Murray Handwerker. Who? He took his dad's business and made it big. So? Well, his dad was named Nathan Handwerker. Still not ringing a bell? That's Nathan as in Nathan’s Famous. He made Nathan's hot dogs and fries an internationally-known institution. And, if you've never gone to the original at Coney Island, you should. Tip: Take a car, and have one person run out and buy the food while the other idles. Bring the food to the car and drive someplace else, like Manhattan Beach, to eat it. The Coney neighborhood isn't the best. (New York Times)
