Before he died this spring at 81, Gus Koutroulakis came to work every day since he took over Pete's Famous from his uncle in 1948. Gus fixed so many hot dogs, for so many years, that it permanently bent his back in that position, difficult to sleep but easy to ladle on his sauce. Nobody but him knew the recipe. He worked the day he died, just like he'd done every day for 63 straight years.
