They sell those, or something that resembles those, at Whole Foods. Not worth the money. All looks and no substance. They are usually pretty stiff and dry.

I served pork butt for my grandson's birthday and his father bought white bread. I thought it was a little too simple but everyone loved it.

Not everyone enjoys the taste of white bread or potato buns either, and if they ARE pretzel buns everyone WILL notice the type of bread =)

Another option is go to a local bakery.

Even for over $4 a piece?

I would go with slider or potato buns. Not everyone enjoys the taste of the pretzel bun (but I would). More important is to have onions and pickles. If you have those and the beef, no one will notice the type of bread.

I'd eat that!

Found these on Amazon but the price is beyond ridiculous.

I, too, would vote for "slider" sized rolls if it’s a crowd. Makes the meat go farther, especially with those really hungry (normally guys) who pile the buns high with meat. They’ll take as much as they can fit, but are a little shy about returning for seconds, thirds or fourths. At least it slows them down a little.
King’s Hawaiian, Potato rolls or Pretzel rolls.

Well, some people say to get the cheapest white supermarket buns you can find! It's the meat, not the wrapping!

Or if you are feeling ambitious, bake your own. I broke out my mom's old recipe this year and it was a marginal success. With a little more practice it's going to be lights out.

[fzxdoc]

me too. But for family, they love pretzel buns.

Oh, gosh,@Guttenberg , this is so good, the saltiness of this bun balanced with the sweetness of pulled pork. If you can find them, get them. If you want to make them, then have fun with it.

I like your style

I agree. When I smoke meat for work, I tell them I’m bringing meat. If they want sides/buns/etc., it’s on them.
