Charles Feltman's boiled sausages

1867
Coney Island, New York City, New York, U.S.

Another possible origin for serving the sausages in rolls is the pieman Charles Feltman, at Coney Island in New York City. In 1867 he had a cart made with a stove on which to boil sausages, and a compartment to keep buns fresh in which they were served.
