re: The buttered roll (or roll with butter) - a delicacy only known in New York City

I think they are referring to the fact buttered rolls are sold at most any cafe, kiosk, store etc. In NYC.

I would make a crack about the rest of us advancing past a subsistence diet of bread and dairy products, but bagel and a schmear prevents me from doing so.

The pizza was GOOD in NYC, but I've had some really good NYC style pizza outside of the city. I'm still trying to find a bagel that matches up to what you can get at the little small delis that are all over the place.

Wait. Don't we have a poster named DinnerRoll? Or something of the sorts?

Wonder where that guy is from.

Apparently he's from a place called buttery goodness.

I stopped at the Chevron Station for lunch yesterday and got a plate lunch, came with a damn good buttered roll.

However, if you find one of the old school brick-oven joints that makes a thin, crispy crust, that's where it's at.

Mention its name outside the New York metropolitan area and you would very likely be met with blank incomprehension.

Keep your shitty arse roll and shove it.

My kids favorite place for pizza couldn't beat Chuck E Cheese pizza in a blind taste test.

As far as the NYC rolls, it's not a dinner roll that has a similar consistency throughout. It's like a bun that goes flat when you hold it and tastes like the crust of white bread.

The article even states the buttered roll is nothing special, which makes it even more strange that you can buy them everywhere.

That's akin to saying no one outside of the south appreciates fried chicken.

Throw me one of these rolls and I will be happy:

Now I want an old school cinnamon roll from Mackenzie's. Bastard.
