Is Chicago the only place that calls them kaisers?
Well you do have a much bigger German/Austro/Hugarian population than Boston.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

I've never heard "bulkie" before.
The Shooter Buddy quickly realigns the particles in your beverage by surrounding them with extremely powerful Neodymium (ne-o-dím-e-um) magnets. These are the strongest magnets currently known to man. They’re made from a combination of rare earth elements that create an extremely powerful replica of the Earth’s magnetic field.
In as little as ten seconds, Shooter Buddy restores the natural balance destroyed in the production process, recaptures the fresh taste of nature, and duplicates the smooth mellow flavor generated by years of traditional slow aging.

I know my stepmother used to call them bulkies, in Maine, but I remember even then thinking that was not the only word for them. Perhaps the geographical dividing line is in Connecticut.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had an experience much like yours today, Nutty, the first time I tried to order a sandwich in Philly. I said 'on a bulkie roll,' they looked at me like I was on crack, and I couldn't figure out how to re-phrase it. That was really the only name I knew. I was like "you know, a regular roll." "OH! A KAISER!" "Um, sure. whatever."

"Bulkie"? News to this person from Western Pennsylvania, where, unsurprisingly, "kaiser" is the word of choice.

I was stunned when I learned that German is the largest ancestry group in the US -- I was the only kid I knew growing up with a German last name.

I knew them as bulkies in Maine, but never knew of anything else to call them. However, if the had sesame seeds or onion, they were called "sesame rolls" or "onion rolls".
Of course in Maine, we called subs "italians", so we're definitely weird.

Kaiser roll or onion roll (am I wrong in thinking kaiser rolls have onions bits sprinkled on top?) are the only terms I know for them. I think I've usually ordered sandwiches "on a roll" without specifying what type of roll. Sometimes on a French roll, but that's something different.
I have German ancestry but a non-German last name.
