O, I get it now: it's a gimmick, part of a theme restaurant. The formation

"throwed rolls" probably plays off of past-participle/noun collocations used

for particular versions of foods which have undergone a certain action as

part of the food-prep process: filled/stuffed rolls or buns, raised muffins,

beaten biscuits, mashed potatoes, **tossed salad** (maybe that's the joke

here?), etc.

Along those lines, I'm looking forward to a billboard advertising a

restaurant that features "tossed cookies."
