Microwave Cooking for One by Marie T Smith

Nathan's
A trip to New York isn't complete without having a Nathan's hot dog. Sure,
you can get them at many airports and malls throughout the country now, but they seem to taste
better here than anywhere else in the world.
Nathan Handwerker emigrated to the United States in 1912, and went to work
in the kitchen of Feltman's Restaurant in Coney Island. In 1916, Nathan opened his hot dog stand
on the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues in Coney Island. Nathan used a special hot dog recipe
developed by his wife Ida's grandmother. In an effort to keep the recipe secret, Nathan hires two
spice providers, each developing half of the famous recipe. To open his hot dog stand, Nathan
borrowed $300 from his friends Jimmy Durante and Eddie Cantor, who worked with him at Feltman's
Restaurant. They urged him to sell his hot dogs for 5 cents, half the price of the competition.
According to legend, on July 4, 1916, four European immigrants held an impromptu
hot dog eating contest to settle an argument about patriotism. It was decided that whoever could eat
the most Nathan's hot dogs was clearly the most American. Irish immigrant James Mullen won the contest
by eating 13 Nathan's hot dogs in buns in 12 minutes, beginning an annual tradition that survives
to this day. Every July Fourth weekend, people try to eat as many hot dogs as they can in the Nathan's
Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest — the dogs are just that good.

thousand external links throughout the pages of this site. To make
navigating simpler for you, we have set up the links so that when you
click on the first one, a new browser window will open. When you click
on another link, the link will appear in the same window replacing the
information of the first link (except eBay auctions, which open a new
window with each item clicked on). This way, as you navigate through this
site, you will not have to constantly keep closing browser windows. All
links to other pages within this site will open in the current window.
If a window does not open when you click on a link, check to see if you
are running a pop-up blocker, which you may need to turn off in order
for the new browser windows to open.
Except when you order
Microwave Cooking for One by mail, we do not actually sell items
directly from this site. Instead, we have done all the work to find the
microwave information you are looking for on the Internet, and
consolidated it here at this site. When you click on a link for a
product, you will be taken to the site that actually offers the product
for sale. In some instances, we earn a small commission from the site
you visit. This is how we are compensated for the work we have done to
bring the information to you. Thank you for supporting this site by
