Famous Lunch, originally known as the Quick Lunch, opened its doors in 1932 at 111 Congress Street in Troy, NY. The establishment gained national fame in 1958 when a local Marine, Corporal Gordon Gundrum, had hot dogs flown to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow for a birthday celebration, leading to the shop's renaming and recognition as a historic hot dog destination.
Today, Famous Lunch continues to serve its iconic hot dogs and even ships them via FedEx across the United States and around the world. The restaurant remains a beloved spot for those craving a taste of its famous offerings, embodying a rich legacy in the local culinary scene.
