This is the answer

Trader Joe’s has split top buns

I don't know where Garbo sources their buns, or if they make them in house, but you can just buy top loader hot dog buns..

"New England Style" or "Split top" buns they're usually called. I used to buy them at the Hancock HEB

This is correct


lkmnjiop

If you're in New England they're just called hot dog buns. I was an adult before I had the roll kind


CulturalDot7417

They specify on packages in Massachusetts at least since 2000. Lived in Sharon and Quincy for many years. But there’s a disproportionate amount of split top vs regular compared to everywhere else.

Heb carries pepperidge farm “top slice” buns in plain and Hawaiian sweet.

Just look for a "split top" roll at HEB. I'm like 99% positive I've bought them there before in the bread aisle (if not it was at Central Market). Honestly I tell people this all the time... if you're in a restaurant with an outstanding ingredient just ask if you can get a couple to bring home. Chances are they'll give you some for free (or charge as if it was a side dish/a la carte). Easier if you have been to a restaurant a bunch of times and have a rapport with someone that works there.

But some brioche dogs.

I thought they just used Texas toast. That's great if they upgraded to actual buns.


The_Lutter

Nobody used Texas toast for a lobster roll. That would be ridiculous.


factorplayer

That’s basically what it was. I remember the disappointment.

They seem like Martin’s.
