It's a mix of the history of one of America's iconic brand (their hot dogs and fries are pretty good, too) with information on business and developing a national/international company. Mr. Handwerker's writing is direct and accessible. His anecdotes and perspective of working with his grandfather and father make this a very readable and enjoyable book.

More of a family history, than a book about the deli, operations and staff etc. It did have information along those lines, but much of the book is a family biography.
