Unless they're purchased in NYC they ain't bagels, I'm serious... I've
tried bagels in about all 48 and NONE are even close to a real bagel...
NOT EVEN CLOSE... they are just nondescript rolls with a hole. And
even a perfect NYC bagel once it's been out of the oven more than 60
minutes it's no longer a bagel... it's just a stale hunk of dough. And
there is no such thing as a frozen bagel (Lenders ain't any kind of
bagel), a NYC pigeon has to be starving to peck one, and even then
won't let it's neighbors see its pecker pecking. And so, unless yoose
come to NYC you can't have a bagel... and Staten Island doesn't count,
that's part of Noo Joisey anyways.
