Preferred Hot Dog Buns

What types of hot dog buns are favored? This question led to a heated discussion between my dad and me. He prefers the buns that resemble folded toast, commonly known as New England-style buns, while I am a fan of the traditional crust-covered buns, only opting for the toast type when enjoying a lobster roll.

As a child, my parents often purchased the folded toast variety. My sister and I were not thrilled by this choice. I was convinced that the traditional buns we loved—seen pretty much everywhere hot dogs are sold—were superior. A quick glance at the bread aisles of any store reveals far more traditional rolls than New England-style buns, and in my experience, barbecues typically serve dogs in crust-covered rolls.

Public Opinion

However, the reactions to my Facebook post told a different story. Many people expressed their preference for the New England-style buns.
