The year is 1936 and Carl and Grace Wetanson open a "Grace's Hot Dog Restaurant" that began a four generation family-run restaurant operation. The historic "Wetson's Hamburger" icon chain grew in the 1960's to almost 100 units dotting the landscape of New York City and surrounding areas. The 1980's brought Dallas BBQ and the 1990's brought Tony's DiNapoli to the New York City restaurant scene.
