        Sizz: I'll check with my local USPO tomorrow, but I aught to be able to beat that price...

        Cheers, John

          How about taking a larger bun, brat style maybe, and slicing a little off the top and the bottom, then a bit off the left side so it can stand up? Then one slice down the middle to open it up.

              Fabulous- I have been looking for these style buns for some time now. It's great to have a source- cause here in Dallas they have no clue when asking for hot dog buns with a split top! Now to get my lobster salad done and maybe some terrific hot dogs with sauce too! Thanks!

                try a loaf of fresh unsliced white bread, have the bakery slice it 2" thick, then split the top yourself. Most of the places I've seen them in bulk like at amusement parks and drive in's in PA are just that. They were not baked individually or slammed together, it's a special slicing of a long loaf about 24" long. Maybe that's why I've never cared for them, noone butters and grills them b4 serving.

                  The real test is when the liquid sauces are added. The true new england style roll will hold a handfull of pilings;that similar looking slice of bread will not and will absorb everything and quickly.Could get soggy!

                    I can't find those rolls in Daytona, but I like the idea from easydoesit about cutting the sides off.
                    toast the rolls on each side and you don't have to worry about the sauces killing them.
