Regardless of what is sandwiched in between, it is the bread, the roll, the bun, that makes a sandwich exceptional.
Let’s talk burger buns, and in case you are wondering, a burger is a type of sandwich – it contains fillings between two bread-like buns. While we can drool and talk sensuously about the cut or cuts of meat ground up to form the meat patty, its thickness, the cooking technique applied, the grill, the char, and smoke, it is equally important that all that mighty meatiness has a good base upon which to rest and be covered. Sure, swoon at the melted cheese, briny pickles, crisp onions and juicy tomatoes, but ask yourself, where would all of those things be without a bun worthy of such lofty responsibility. Much thought my friends must be given to the buns as is given to all it is being asked to sandwich.
