10. The Fenway Frank
In Boston, Massachusetts, the Fenway frank is, without a doubt, the regional hot dog of choice. As you may be able to guess from its name, it was born in Fenway Park, the home field of the Boston Red Sox. To say these hot dogs are popular would be an understatement. Hundreds of thousands of Fenway Franks are sold each year at Fenway Park alone.
Making the Fenway frank is actually a complicated process. First, the hot dogs are boiled to lock in all of the juices. Second, in order to improve the texture by adding a little bit of crunch, the hot dog is gently grilled for a short period of time. Third, a New England hot dog bun is prepared, which is basically a buttery toasted roll. Finally, the hot dog is placed inside of the roll, and relish and mustard are added on top to complete the Fenway frank.
