Note: These have a delicious roasted flavor that can almost fool your palate into thinking they were roasted on the grill. Try different kinds of breads, but we love the European-type rolls. Don’t be tempted to skip the toasting of the buns, as this really adds to the overall dining experience. It’s good served with oven-roasted fries.
