Talk:Nathan's Famous

Original Name

The name now is "Nathan's Famous." What was the original name of his business in 1916? Did he use the term "hot dog" in the business name in 1916? Or did he have the chutzpah to call himself "famous" right from day one?

In stores...

There should be a mention about how they market and or license their name to a brand of franks that are sold in supermarkets now. youngamerican (talk) 01:47, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

hotdog contest

Chestnut's new record of 66 hotdogs should be added.

Which meat?

Are their hot dogs made of pork or beef? Badagnani (talk) 05:38, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Hint: their name is Nathan's. As in Nathaniel. Randal Oulton (talk) 22:50, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

The company's founders were Jewish the meat they use is beef.RichardBond (talk) 18:00, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Supermarket sales

Although the restaurant business was where Nathan's began, a larger part of its business these days is probably from sales of packaged hotdogs in supermarkets. Would be nice to see something about this here. --Haruo (talk) 19:52, 4 July 2011 (UTC) They are produced by Specialty Foods GroupBarnaby the Scrivener (talk) 20:05, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Frogs legs are available in some locations

Some of the Nathan locations serve frog's legs. It would be nice to see something on this and when it started.RichardBond (talk) 18:04, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Assessment

This article does not deserve a B-rating. It needs a lot of work, and there are tons of sources to work with. I am downgrading to C-class in the hopes that people will chip in and really get this article in tip top shape like it deserves. 191.101.244.1 (talk) 09:31, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Owner / Subsidy Info

The right hand side info-box should show that the company is owned by Smithfield, which is a Chinese company. There are MANY examples of this throughout WP, so I am wondering why it is not done here. People would like to know that Nathan's is now a foreign owned company. 174.171.71.34 (talk) 08:56, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
