BOSTON — Fenway Park is expanding its concessions menu for the upcoming Boston Red Sox season, adding several new gourmet items alongside its traditional ballpark favorites.
The ballpark’s culinary team designed the new offerings to supplement classic items like the Fenway Frank. While the stadium is celebrated for its 114 years of history, the team is introducing these innovations to provide new dining experiences for visitors.
The lobster poutine, served in a boat, consists of lobster meat, clam chowder, and bacon. Another featured item is a spicy grilled cheese sandwich made with Vermont sharp cheddar and mango-habanero salsa. The menu expansion also includes Green Monster fries.
Senior Executive Chef Ron Abell and his culinary team developed the new food concepts for the ballpark. Abell noted that the volume of new items required him to use a reference sheet to track all the additions during a recent preview of the menu.
“It’s nice to have all of this in our ballpark to show our fans how much we care and how much we appreciate them being here and offering all this stuff,” Abell said.
Beyond the new signature dishes, the culinary team prioritized creating more gluten-free and vegetarian options for fans. These efforts include experimenting with jackfruit as a meat alternative in various recipes.
The beverage and dessert selections have also grown to include new milkshakes and spiked slushies. For dessert, the ballpark is now offering Nutella empanadas and a cake in a can.
While the new items are available at various locations throughout the ballpark, officials have not yet finalized the price for the lobster poutine. Despite the wide range of new culinary options, the classic Fenway Frank remains the top-selling concession item at the stadium.
The Boston Red Sox are scheduled to play the Padres on Friday. The first pitch is set for 2:10 p.m.
