I'd like to recreate some Fenway Park hotdogs. Anyone have an idea on how to do that? Of course, I'd rather be there.

What kind of bun?
What kind of frank?
What goes on it and how do you prepare it?

Thanks.

Fenway Park uses Hebrew National Kosher hot dogs to the best of my knowledge. In my opinion they are one of the better tasting hot dogs made. The buns are standard hot dog buns again working from memory, and dressing is always mustard then whatever else you like, ketchup, onion, pickle relish, etc.
The dogs are steamed, I think the buns are heated above the steamer.

Chicago and New York dogs get a bit more strange. NY dogs are most popular dressed with light mustard and cooked onions. Chicago dogs may have sliced tomato, slaw or anything else within arms reach.

Always dress the dog and not the bun. Put down wet ingredients like mustard, ketchup or Mayo (yuck not on my dog) then chunky ingredients like onions, relish, slaw, cheese or kraut. Mustard may be put on top of chili. Cheese and onions should always top chili. Never add ketchup to chili dogs and real hot dog lovers say after you reach 18 you should never put ketchup on a hot dog.

Did you know July is National Hot Dog Month?

Jane Mansfield was Miss Hot Dog in 1950.

Babe Ruth once downed 24 hot dogs between games of a double header.

The classic Chicago Dog has 7 ingredients besides the dog and bun. In order, Chopped onions(can be grilled), diced tomatoes, sport peppers(mild cayennes), sweet pickle relish, ketchup, yellow mustard and celery salt. I've had a few and they are excellent. Probably my favorite way besides chilli dogs. Batter up!

Sorry but you are wrong (I am a native Chicagoan) No self-respecting Chicagoan would EVER put ketchup on his dog! And the tomatoes are sliced, not chopped....:smile:

Agreed (about the ketchup). In fact, some hot dog places in Chicago refuse to put ketchup on a dog if you ask. I learned that first hand. They gave me ketchup packets for my fries and I had to put it on the dog myself...
