Readers help readers find split-top buns, lobster rolls
SPLITTOP hot-dog buns have been a frequent request in Taste of the Town over the years. East Coast expatriates love them with the sides grilled, whether holding a hot dog or as lobster rolls. The King’s Hawaiian brand is widely available in valley supermarkets these days, but readers Dave Berry and Mark Damron are looking for a version that’s a little less sweet. And as usual, Taste of the Town readers have the 411.
Annette Gallagher said Whole Foods Market, which has four stores in the valley, carries the Authentic Euro Brioche brand, and Bob Drabicki and Don Barrington reported spotting split-top rolls in the bakery at Glazier’s Food Marketplace at 8525 W. Warm Springs Road.
Damron also is seeking reader recommendations for the best lobster rolls in the valley, and readers came through there as well. Marlene Drozd recommended the one served at Andre’s Bistro & Bar at 6115 S. Fort Apache Road. And Brown recommended the Cousins Maine Lobster truck, which is at 506 Fremont St. downtown (at Las Vegas Boulevard), and at other locations listed at cousinsmainelobster.com/las-vegas (702-420-2008), plus Giada’s at The Cromwell and Public House in the Grand Canal Shoppes.
