Taste the American Dream this Sunday, with a Feltman’s!

Written by on in Game Day

We believe there is simply no truer way to taste the American Dream this Sunday than a Feltman’s!

It all started in 1867 when Charles Feltman, a German baker, brought his frankfurter recipe to Coney Island and began selling them from a pie cart.

When he needed a way to avoid the cost of plates and cutlery, he baked a long bun upon which he could serve the frankfurter. This led to the very first hot dog on a bun.

Today, this Coney Island classic is distributed to thousands of supermarkets, like at your local Mollie Stone’s, making it possible for you to enjoy the one, the only, the true original hot dog!

The truly original way to enjoy a Feltman’s is on a potato bun with a healthy serving of Charles Feltman’s original mustard, but we think there’s really no wrong way to eat a Feltman’s hot dog like in this Game Day must-have Home Style Chili! Check out the recipe below!
