East Coast Hot Dog Buns?

I'd sort of forgot about them. Its a New England thing, sort of like having a "grinder" or a "tonic". Lobster rolls rock. The rolls are best served toasted in a frying pan like a grilled cheese sandwich.

They are different and you can order them on-line.

New England Style Buns

Don't you just love this website.....full service.

Get all your questions answered ....even when it comes to hot dog buns!

Just don't ask for a "milk shake"!

Dad04 ...

Thanks for the link ... I well remember now having some of those when we visited the Cape in '03 and went to Lynn, MA for lunch with family. Those rolls were served when we ordered fish sandwiches.

Yes, this IS an awesome, full-service website.

I looked them up and that's exactly what I wanted. However, six buns, plus shipping/handling comes to $17.

For that price, I just might be able to justify another trip to Boston and Durgin Park Restaurant in Quincy Market!

You may want to try baking home made ones.

It's called a Frappe.

Biggerpapi, I'll try and work us a better deal.

Now you've got me wondering... what does a hot dog bun look like away from the east coast?

Dad04, let's talk, I'd love to get ahold of those buns but not at $3 each.

Gold Glove, a "regular" hot dog bun is flat on the bottom and round on the top kind of like a small loaf of bread. Then it's split lengthwise so the rounded part is one half and the flat part is the other half.

The rounded part is usually bigger so it ends up being asymetrical and might even fall apart if the hot dog is too big.

The East Coast hot dog bug appeared to cradle the dog much better and even tasted better. It was like a nice fresh piece of bread.

they look like hotdog buns,what do buns look like in your area?

That's kind of a personal question, isn't it?

Away from the physical confines of Red Sox Nation the rest of the universe is stuck with

Dad04, Except that a "frappe" has little or no ice cream.

When we made our first ever pilgrimige to Fenway, we had a hot dog on a bun that looked like a regular piece of bread but it was made to act as a bun.

How about taking a regular slice of bread and wrapping it around a Wiener!

Presto! A New England Hot Dog!

Dad04 that Frappe was once called a Coffee Cabinet, if it was coffee flavored of course. They were pretty big in my day.
How many of you know what a Quahog is. And the correct way from this former Bullraker is pronounced Quaw-hawg.
I have had the hot dog buns here in florida, unless Fenway has changed the bread in the last 2 years, its just a bun.

I just thought of this, the buns are really soft like bread because they keep them in steamers (pronounced steama's).
Grinders came from cold cuts that were actually ground up by a butcher back before the 60's. The sandwichs (pronounced sangwichis) were then placed in the oven. No real grinder can be eaten cold. They were always made with italian rolls (pronounced spacadella). Tonic is definitely a Boston thing. My cousins always called Soda....Tonic.
Anybody else got any old new england things, this could get interesting.

Well, they come out of the Hahbah and look like this, and taste good deep fried.



My folks pronounced it KOE hawg and argued how to say it, but they are from western Mass. and talk funny anyhow.

Being from western Mass I'm not familiar with a Coffee Cabinet. I was a sheltered child. Didn't get out much.

Grew up on grinders usually from the back counter at little Italian markets around town.

The hotdog is the ballpark food in America but in WI it is second to the Bratwurst.

I sure hate to disagree with PGStaff, especially because I hope he gets to meet my son in a couple of years.

However, your suggestion to simply wrap a piece of bread around my hot dog...I'm not sure if that's authentic enough.

I'm sure nothing short of a trip to Fenway would make that bun taste just right!

I was born in Concord, NH but I can't figure out how to type how to pronounce it!!

I got it!

There are no R's in New England, right?

Thats no "Ahhz" in new england.

Dad04 ...

I like the kind of 'cradle' bun you depicted but for the most part out here on the Left Coast we use the buns that are sliced along the side, like this one (sans dog):

Hmmmm...horizontal v. vertical....

Okay....while Fenway franks are very good......there is a diner in Lowell, Mass....."Elliots"......where they served Maple Leaf Hot Dogs.....had Fenway's beat by a mile.....

Anyone know whaya to get those hot dogs from? Think they came from Canader.........?????

I'm pretty sure that they are

Maple Leaf Top Dogs.

Thanks Willie.....they are not the same....but when I went to Google with Maple Leaf Top dogs...there were posts about Maple Leaf.....and where to get them.....what a great and wonderful site this is!

Kraut or no kraut,...that is the question? Cheese and chili? Cheese, chili, and rice on the dog,..thats the way the Hawaiians do it,...YUM!!!!...wrap it in roasted seaweed and you have the musubi! ( sold at football and baseball stadiums all over the island! )..I kid you not!

Dont know how to get a picture of it in this posting,...or I'd show you all!

You can get the Maple Leaf's at Flo's. Eddie Andelman raved about Flo's.

The hot dog buns asked about by biggerpapi are best served buttered and toasted, like you would a grilled cheese sandwich.

And PG - sandwich bread doesn't even come close!

Couldn’t find a picture of a musubi hot dog but here is one with spam


Thought it was kind of scarey that I also found a lot of pictures of Sumo wrestlers because I think their little diaper garment is also called a musubi ...

And then of course we have the mainland version of the musubi

I believe the name in our area is HEINERS. They have the split top bun. Great for chili dogs.

Thats it!! Thats it FutureBackMom,..only invision a sliced hotdog on top instead of the spam! tee-hee. Can you believe they sell those at the stadiums and everywhere on the island? The kids eat them like they are peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches!! ha! My son has been wanting me to make them for the team,...not sure they will go over as well as the good ol' american classic hot dog on a bun, but might be fun just to see the boys reactions! ha!

Sooooo.

Can you get a real milk shake in Beantown these day's?....or not?

Anyone been to Lochober's lately?

Ask for a frappe

" Anyone been to Lochober's lately? "

Locho-whatta??? ( ha!)

Do tell,...what is Lochobers???

rz1 - you're right, nothing beats a Wisconsin brat and thanks for the photo and dinner idea for tonight.
However, I did nearly toss my cookies after watching Takeru (sp?) from Japan hammer down 58 Johnsonville brats in 10 minutes on ESPN a few weeks ago.

Agree too with soxnole on difficulty finding milkshake/malt or anything similar in Boston/Cape this summer.
Almost as hard as finding true White Sox fans prior to 05 glory run. Just kidding (kinda) - don't know how to insert smily faces on here.
Overall, thought Boston area was fantastic with tons to do and see plus plenty of good food.

ssmom...

Lochobers was the finest steak house in Boston in the 70's.

On Winter Street downtown.
