Is a bulkie some sort of roll or bun? I've never heard the word before so I'm guessing it's local/regional.

Sounds like Sweet Cheeks is promising but with possible room for improvement. Hopefully they'll get the bugs worked out before it's too late.

Yesl bulkie is a local "New England" term for a squareish grinder or sub style roll.

The term "sweet cheeks" brings something else to mind other than BBQ

A group of us went to this late 2011 entry to the BBQ market in Boston. Among the 5 of us I was able to sample the chicken pulled sandwich, chopped brisket sandwich and pulled pork sandwich. I liked the chopped brisket the best - very good. Meats are texas style, prepared dry. Sauces are on the table. I liked their house southern style sauce and North Carolina style vinegar sauces. Sandwiches come on Texas toast or a bulkie - bulkie was better. You can get cole slaw on the sandwiches but I wish I didn't. It's not finely copped cole slaw but big pieces and they didn't have much sauce on them, more like just having vegetables plain on the sandwich. We all had the mac n cheese on the side. I liked it very much except for the ritz crackers crushed on top - I dumped the cup over to get them off. We ordered their salt and pepper potatos as a side - more like crispy homefries but very good. Nobody liked their dessert. I thought the drinks were ridiculously expensive. $4 for soda, $4.50 for ice tea - served in Mason jars.
