For what it's worth, (again anecdotally) I worked in fast food for a number
of years (although this was a few years ago) and at McDonalds, Burger King,
and Hardees, I never once saw buns warmed on the grill.  We always used bun
toasters.  Which is not to say that it's never done, but it doesn't seem to
be standard practice.  (My experience was in Michigan and North Carolina.)
