In 1916 Nathan Handwerker opened his original Coney Island hot-dog stand. Murray, his son after returning from fighting in WWII helped his parents open locations in Times Square and Long Island. Murray passed this past Saturday in Florida; he was 89 years old. This only proves that a healthy diet of Nathan's Famous leads to a long and happy life.Murray took over as Chairman in the early 1970's and rapidly grew the company into franchise deals across the country. Soon after the brand started showing up in supermarkets. His passion was still always the original stand at Surf and Stillwell Avenues. His favorite hot-dog? A plain frank on a roll.
