Description

Fenway Franks are a beloved Boston street food classic featuring juicy beef hot dogs served in toasted New England–style buns and topped simply with mustard and sweet relish. This quick and easy recipe captures the authentic Fenway Park flavor, perfect for a casual meal or game day snack.


Ingredients

Hot Dogs

  • 4 beef hot dogs

Buns and Toppings

  • 4 New England–style buns
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Yellow mustard, to taste
  • Sweet relish, to taste


Instructions

  1. Cook the Hot Dogs: Grill the beef hot dogs over medium heat or boil them in water until they are heated through and slightly browned if grilling, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Toast the Buns: Butter the New England–style buns lightly on the inside and toast them on a skillet, grill, or pan until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Assemble the Fenway Franks: Place each cooked hot dog inside a toasted bun carefully to avoid breaking the bun.
  4. Add Toppings: Generously add yellow mustard and sweet relish on top of each hot dog according to your taste preferences.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve the Fenway Franks right away while warm, ideal for enjoying at home or bringing the ballpark experience to your table.
