Depends, some folks could care less about the bread or roll that is used
and some think it is an important component. For example there is a
local family owned sub shop in my town that uses really great rolls from
a local Italian bakery that has a coal fired oven. Even though they use
quality meats etc the roll makes the sandwich. There is no mention of
"artisan" though. This is simply non bigbox folks who know how to make
good food.

Poppy seeds certainly won't help but a quality kaiser roll sure makes a
good burger even better.
