I’ve already told you the best bagels are found at the Bagelry. And until a REAL Jewish deli blesses us with its presence, I think that’s the way it’s going to be. The only gripe I have is the lack of quality control in the bagel rolling. You see, I grew up in NYC, so I am PICKY about my bagel. It may be the masses are ok with bagels that look like bialys, but I get very irritated when I buy a couple dozen mixed, open the bag and find some of those snuck in (the malformed ones).
My solution is to special order. I order whole wheat minis. Did you know a mini is the now the size of what used to be a “regular” bagel? I guess I’ll call regular bagels ‘mcbagels’ now – supersized like everything in the US of A except my 401k!
Have a super day!
