Season 3 Episode 17

​​​​

Nathan's Famous feat. Marty Cunnie

​

In this episode of Fine Dining: The Search for the Most Mediocre Restaurant in America:

​

○ Part 1: This week, we dive mouth-first into the greasy, glorious history of Nathan’s Famous, the iconic hot dog brand that gave us Al Capone’s favorite beach snack, a gluttonous holiday tradition, and the most American sporting event of all time: the Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest.

From shady police bribes to feeding royalty to Joey Chestnut’s triumphant return after an Impossible controversy, this episode covers over a century of beef, buns, and barfing-for-glory. Joining me is comedian Marty Cunnie (who saw Chestnut live in action!! I'm fangirling).

​

○ Part 2: Coming next week!
