Nathan's Hot Dog Honcho to Host Trump Fundraiser in the Hamptons

[DesertRat]

No more Nathan's in our house!

Howard Lorber, a Manhattan developer and executive chairman of Nathan’s 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 Lorber’s home in Southampton on Friday, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the president’s trip hasn’t 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 Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

4. I guess Nathan's doesn't know that cozying up to Trump is bad for business.

5. Fuck Nathan's hot dogs!

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!

6. Hebrew National

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.

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.

12. Wow, thanks for sharing

Sadly ironic.

9. So that's how their sausage is made...

10. Nathan's went downhill several years ago.

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