In collaboration with E. E. Franz of Franz Bakery, Mr. Yaw invented the five-inch diameter hamburger bun in the late 1920s. Though others are credited with creating a bread product to use for the first hamburgers known to the world, Franz is credited for inventing the hamburger bun in its current world-wide accepted form.[1][2]

In July of 2006 Franz baked a 104 foot 9.5 inch hot dog bun in a successful attempt to break the Guinness world record for the World's Longest Hot Dog.
