No trip to a ballgame is complete without a hot dog or two; depending on the final score, that might be the highlight of the game. One of the most iconic ballpark meals is the Fenway Frank, as any Boston Red Sox fan will tell you.
Kayem Foods, the maker of the Fenway Frank, has a history almost as storied as the Sox. The company was started by Kazimierz Monkiewicz in 1909 after he emigrated from his native Poland to Chelsea, Mass. More than 100 years later, it has grown from a simple meat market to the largest meat processor in New England. Along with its franks, Kayem produces over 100 varieties of hot dogs and 300 varieties of deli meats, sausage and dinner hams. One of the company’s brands, al fresco, is the top chicken sausage brand in the country.
