Rise and Fall of Horn and Hardarts and the Automat
Вставка

- There is no doubt that fast food has changed the way we eat. Almost everyone in America has eaten at a fast food restaurant in some form or another. Even if you never went to a fast food restaurant or live very far from the nearest chain, you know the concept of it as it’s embedded in American culture. But 120 years ago there weren’t any fast food restaurants, although the concept of a fast food dates back to the Romans, it didn’t really become a mainstay until the introduction of the Automat. This is the history of Horn and Hardarts and it’s rise to glory and eventual downfall

My Grandma worked there !! I still have one of the Baking pans with the HH on it
While growing up my father would bring the whole family into NYC to waste a Saturday away. We often passed the automat and I always wanted to eat there. It never happened....we always ended up eating in China Town or in the Village. It would have been nice just to say "I was there."
I was there in 1956 when I was 11 years old. Thought it was cool then!
I never heard about this! It's really fascinating. I'm glad I found your channel since it has very interesting historical content, great script and editing.
Hope your efforts get recognized!
I was there in the early 70's too young to drink coffee but in nyc it came out of a lions mouth
Horn & Hardarts was terrific, truly loved the place. Would go to the one on East 42nd St & 3rd ave for lunch.
I loved the fascination of people and food behind the windows. I loved their pumpkin pie and vegetable specials.
Why is there a chart for Tesla car manufacturers at 2:57?
Because the narrator is a wanker!
I too would like an answer to this mystery
And why was there a picture of Hitler as one of the early vendors?
Needs to be edited out
🤔
The narrator of this video reveals time and time again he is not a professional narrator.
No he is not.
I think the poor guy has a speech impediment so please be kind to him ( but it sounded like he kept calling Hardart Hart ... making it sound like one syllable , which did get on my nerves . )
Loved the script, images and always happy to hear a human voice rather than computer generated voice- I think it's great video.
Great video.
Subscribed!
Great work!!! Thank you for this :)
🤜🏻👍🤛🏻♡♡♡
loved this!!
Weren't they bought over by Burger King?
What’s up with your voice? It’s hard understanding you and your microphone keeps popping. You should have a guest narrator and use a pop filter screen for the microphone
I understood perfectly, it was on turd ave.
Great video, but get someone else to read the voice over. Made me stop watching after 2 minutes. Bit of advice that’s all.
If you are in NYC there was one by east 42 at 3 Ave last one in the City that closed in April 1991…They are returning with AI technology robots…
Nice video. You may want to consider changing or enriching the narrators voice though. Just an unsolicited piece of constructive criticism. ✌️
Yes, he's hard to understand at times. Hardart sounds like Hart
I do believe the poor guy has a speech impediment and people should show some kindness .
@@tenossos yes despite his speech impediment it would have been nice if he could have made it two syllables instead of just one
So you just plagiarized a documentary with bad narration
Pizza pizza.
Just like Kmart cafeteria. People got sick of it. lol
Apparently people got sick of variety as well.
I miss Kmart cafeteria
kmart submarine sandwiches!
No way can the food from Horn & Hardart be compared to Kmart food .
