· The birth of fast food began by **Carl N. Karcher.** He is known as a fast food pioneer. · The book calls his story a parable. This “parable” begins by having a hotdog cart on a street corner in the heart of southern California. · The fast food industry grew mostly because of the birth of the automobile industry · The more automobiles that were on the road the more Carl’s business began to boom. Soon Carl purchased another hot dog cart, then another, and another. His wife Margaret Karcher helped him run the carts and helped the family business.
