Dad04, let's talk, I'd love to get ahold of those buns but not at $3 each.
Gold Glove, a "regular" hot dog bun is flat on the bottom and round on the top kind of like a small loaf of bread. Then it's split lengthwise so the rounded part is one half and the flat part is the other half.
The rounded part is usually bigger so it ends up being asymetrical and might even fall apart if the hot dog is too big.
The East Coast hot dog bug appeared to cradle the dog much better and even tasted better. It was like a nice fresh piece of bread.
