Ingredients
Hot Dogs

Buns
- 4 New England–style buns
- 2 tablespoons butter
Toppings
- Yellow mustard, to taste
- Sweet relish, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Hot Dogs: Grill or boil the beef hot dogs until they are heated through and have a slight char or are fully cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes depending on the method.
- Toast the Buns: Spread butter evenly on the inside of each New England–style bun and toast them lightly either on a grill or in a skillet until golden brown and warm.
- Assemble: Place each hot dog into a toasted bun carefully to maintain the bun’s softness and structure.

Notes
- Fenway Franks are traditionally served at Fenway Park, Boston’s famous baseball stadium.
- Optional toppings include chopped onions or sauerkraut for added flavor and texture.
- New England–style buns are softer and steamed, which helps keep the franks moist and tender.
