Like white bread or cheap HamBurger bunsSalado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

Lots of people like plain old cheap hamburg buns. I like to use ciabatta rolls when I can get them.
-
I use the potato rolls from Publix bakery with the white on top when we have a lot of guests because they are small. Great compliment to the pork.Columbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013

I like simple, quality buns. Publix has a french hamburger bun that works well -- it doesn't fall apart when I pile on the PP, sauce, and slaw.

Has to be a quality bun, else it will become a soggy mess and fall apart - we tend to use Lexington sauce and slaw so the PP is a tad on the wet side. I like a high gluten Italian bread same as we use for Italian beef, holds together.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Anyone use those little Hawaiian Sweet Rolls or Pretzel Buns? I am thinking the pretzel bun might be to much bun, especially since these will not be swimming in BBQ suace. The hawaiian sweet rolls could be good, but i am afraid they will not hold up well, even with just a little sauce.

Big fan of mini potato buns.

Best Bun = No Bun. Why take anything away from the pork and slaw.

Kings Hawaiian sweet rolls are delicious! We've never used anything else. True, they are delicate and can be messy, but napkins fix that problem quickly.

I like these:...slider potato rolls. This way people can try different sauces and toppings; and the smaller buns seem to hold up nicely. There is less chance of that bottom bun "flap" that releases the pork .Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

I don't really care for the traditional BBQ pulled pork....so when I'm serving pulled pork, it's done with a bunch of Italian style spices....garlic, fennel seeds, rosemary, etc. Kinda like a porchetta....but easier to do. It's a nice change from regular bbq pork, and everybody seems to really like it.
For that, I like the ciabatta rolls with some sharp provolone, roasted red pepper. I brush some olive oil on the cut side of the rolls, and grill them for a bit. If we are serving this at a party, I cut the rolls in half so people don't have to take a full sandwich if they don't want one.

Big Marty's are the best. Available at Publix.

The pretzel buns from Costco are good with anything. I have used them for sliders, meatloaf sandwiches, and pulled pork all were good.
-
The solution to the "sloppyness" that the slaw dressing causes can be totally controlled by the use of Artisan Chibatta Rolls. They have a hard crust on the outside which seals in all the goodness of the slaw(and in my case, some hot sauce). And if you toast them before serving, they are twice as good!! They also freeze very well...

Thanks for the input. Since I will have a ton of PP, i think i am going to go with few pretzel rolls (my wifes favorite), some potato rolls, and then a good chibatta roll.

Hawaiian Sweet Rolls. They can make eating grass clippings incredible.

I normally prefer plain cheap burger buns because that's how I had it as a kid in North Carolina.
