Buns That Go Beyond Your Classic Toasted Sesame

A memorable burger is as much about the bread as it is about the meat.

Olive + Oak

Potato buns here are moist and airy, with a light crispiness. Matched with a griddled patty, they give the O+O Burger a certain starchy deliciousness. oliveandoakstl.com

The Dam

Mushrooms, Swiss, Gouda, garlic mayo, and two beef patties are sandwiched in buttery grilled sourdough to yield The Dam’s Magic Mushroom Burger. The result: damn satisfying. thedamstl.com

Schlafly Tap Room

Looking for a better bun? The Tap Room Burger includes an English muffin that soaks up every delicious drop of meat and condiments. It’s a brilliant burger brainchild. schlafly.com

The Tattooed Dog

The restaurant loads pineapple, teriyaki-wasabi glaze, and roasted- garlic aioli on its Maui Burger. So the bun must be equally tasty toasted pretzel dough, right? Of course—and it’s equally memorable. thetattooeddog.com
