I first “met” Russell Van Kraayenburg via Twitter on Monday Nights during #FoodieChats a couple of years ago. We had similar tastes in food. I started following him on Instagram and his blog newsletter. He has wowed me with his kitchen tips and his fun videos that I was sooo excited to see what his first cookbook would be. He does not disappoint. The pictures make your stomach growl, and the knowledge of the hot dog is amazing. This cookbook is also one of my kids favorite to read – yes, read! Here is the recipe of their favorite dog, Fenway Franks-and-Beans Dog.
Ingredients

Extra-long all-beef hot dog
Yellow mustard
Ketchup
Baked Beans

Get out a classic bun. Simmer an extra-long all-beef hot dog. Place the dog in the bun. Top with a long line of yellow mustard and ketchup. Add a heaping pile of warm baked beans to the finished dog.
