New England Hot Dog Buns

Published on Tuesday, May 4, 2010, by C. Thi Nguyen / Edit Post

After a long search by several Chowhounds for a New England-style hot dog bun, they've found a local source. This bun may look like a thick slice of bread, but it's a actually a roll with a crust around the outer edges but left bare on each side for easy toasting.

Peripatetic made the find at The Market Grill. The owner is from Massachusetts, and Market Grill bake the buns in-house. They're excellent, but the dogs themselves are a little disappointing, confesses Peripatetic. However: The manager says you can buy the buns separately if you call ahead. Might want to do that anyway, as Market Grill sometimes runs out of buns early.

Peripatetic also says the fries are outstanding, "better than Oinkster or Wurstkuche in my opinion."

  • Having lived in Derry, NH which is 45 mins outside of Boston I had the chance to enjoy these tasty buns. I have to admit I thought they looked
    a little odd, coming from Alabama we only see the long or short buns
    split down the middle, and rounded on the sides. Now living in Toronto
    Canada those odd hot dogs I miss. Thank's for reminding me.
