BOSTON (AP) – Red Sox fans who follow strict kosher dietary laws will be able to eat hot dogs at Fenway Park this year. The Boston Herald reports that an automated vending machine in the concourse under the bleachers will be dispensing the kosher dogs.

Fenway already sells Hebrew National kosher dogs, but those are “kosher-style” and aren’t prepared, packaged, shipped and cooked under supervision of a rabbi or kosher-certification agency. Shea and Yankee stadiums have kosher concession stands.

, and the Red Sox often receive requests for kosher food at Fenway.

The team’s concessionaire, Aramark, says they’ll start with one “Hot Nosh” machine, and may add more, depending on capacity and demand.
