  • Although Massachusetts-style hot dogs haven’t always received the same fame as a Chicago or New York dog, this regional variation has its own iconic style thanks to its bun. Not only are they exceptionally soft and designed to stand upright, but they’re also steamed instead of toasted—a hallmark of the beloved Fenway Frank. If you’d like to grill your franks instead of (or in addition to) boiling them, preheat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the hot dogs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and blistered on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Grilling will help the hot dog retain moisture while also creating a nice grilled texture.
