No more Nathan's in our house!
Howard Lorber, a Manhattan developer and executive chairman of Nathans Famous Inc., the hot dog company, is hosting a fundraiser for President Donald Trump in the Hamptons, according to two people familiar with the event.
Trump will attend both a roundtable with supporters and a luncheon at Lorbers home in Southampton on Friday, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the presidents trip hasnt been publicly announced.
Last year, Trump described Lorber as one of his two best friends. In 1996, Trump and Lorber traveled to Moscow together to explore business opportunities.
Lorber was an economic adviser to Trumps 2016 presidential campaign.

Ill never eat another one and I will be telling every one I know or ever meet that those hot dogs taste like the inside of a dirty toilet and they are made from the scraps of meat scraped off the floor of the slaughterhouse!
BOYCOTT the bastard!

dogs are better anyway. But one more "on sale" brand to cross off my list. And I also will not patronize any establishment that serves them when I make my annual NYC trip.

(40,212 posts)8. Nathan's Famous was founded by an eastern european Jewish immigrant fleeing
oppression and seeking a better life in America. The family sold the business decades ago, but I don't think that impedes grave turning. Oh, the irony.

Sadly ironic.

Sabrett has kept up their quality, and remains the quintessential NY 'dirty water' hot dog.
