Fear the Beard Franks

Not your typical Fenway Frank, but a close second. Many of my New England followers have probably tried the famous Fenway Frank at one time or another, and although these aren’t the same, they are wicked good. They make a great appetizer, and are perfect to serve at your next World Series viewing party. So if you can’t make it to the Green Monstah, have one of these, and don’t forget to sing Sweet Caroline in the middle of the eighth! Go Sahx!
