Red Sox Opening Day: Going Beyond the Fenway Frank

Red Sox Nation will be waking up extra chipper this morning but not because it's Friday but rather because it is opening day at Fenway Park.

Even though the Red Sox are off to a sluggish start this season, the fans at Fenway will be on hand to pump some life into them. If the Sox fans can't do the trick, then the "pleasant remarks" from Yankee fans will be sure to wake them up.

Opening day at Fenway however is not just about how the Sox play, crude fan remarks and triple Ks; It's about those good ole' Fenway franks.

The food at Fenway is equally as exciting as the game itself. Fenway Franks, juicy sausages, popcorn, cracker jacks and mini pizzas are all staples at Fenway.

There is nothing like having your first Fenway frank of the season. The consistency of the hot dog, bun, condiments and the sights and sounds of Fenway Park make for an unforgettable experience every year.

However, if Fenway Franks are not your thing, the park has got you covered this year. 

Sushi addicts and vegetarians rejoice! Fenway park recently announced their new ballpark cuisine this week.

Fans can expect to find new exotic menu choices including:

• Sushi from BASHO Japanese Brasserie
• Jamba Juice
• Garden salads
• Vegetarian and lighter fare options, including veggie dogs, veggie burgers and vegetarian pizza.
• Brick oven pizza
• Lobster rolls, fried clams, cajun shrimp, fish sandwhich
• Fresh fruit
