Aloha from Maui,

I grew up in Orlando FL. We had a restaurant there called Ronnie’s. It was a 
Jewish bakery with a kinda crazy owner. If you can find this roll recipe, you 
just might break the internet. It was an onion rye roll. Everyone would fight 
to get this out of bread basket. Lots of other people have asked for it. Early 70’s.

Hi Kelly,

I have looked for this recipe at least twice before. I had no success finding the actual Ronnie's recipe then, and I had no success today. Sorry. The only thing that I have been able to find are recipes that someone says "tastes like" them.See:

There are multiple Facebook pages on which people talk about Ronnie's and their rolls:

I Miss Ronnie's Restaurant in Orlando Retro Orlando You grew up in Orlando, FL if.......

I have searched each of these pages, and no one has been able to find Ronnie's actual recipe. There is another "tastes-like" posted on "I Miss Ronnie's Restaurant in Orlando" at the link above.
