getting sick just thinking abt it

ilx's biggest goy backin up that statement doesn't help her case.

i love kurt schwitters

"ursonate" is the ballz

kurt schwitters if u really think "jalapeno cheddar" is a totally regular bagel and "cinnamon raisin" is a weird bagel well........

mmm... water

dessert bagels are soccer mom bagels but savory bagels are real deals. pizza bagels are forever awesome.

IMPORTANT POLL RESULTS: ASIAGO CHEESE BAGEL*GENDER

cinnamon raisin is one of the 2-3 most common types of bagel but I guess it doesn't matter cause max repped for it and he's not jewish

proof in the schmear

I always go w/ blueberry or cinnamon raisin but I'm a self-hating jew fwiw

imagine putting lox and red onion on your blueberry bagel. shameful.

I put soy sauce on my lox

and ketchup

i put everything on my everything bagel

4 rlz tho heres my bagel:

everything w/ schmear
red onion
roma tomato
dill
black pepper
sprouts

I hope buzza is hard at work

poppy 4eva.

tho everything is acceptable. and sesame in a pinch.

everything w/ schmear
red onion
roma tomato
dill
black pepper
sprouts

dont know who kurt swishers is but i can get down w/ this

yeah that's a quality sounding bagel

I am really the only guy on a bagel thread that like salt bagels? I wouldn't be totally surprised as I am the only person I know who orders them but then again I don't get into do you like this kind of bagel y/n discussions v. often & haven't made a habit of asking ppl if they think salt bagels are gross

what does a salt bagel even entail - I am just imagining a giant salt crystal, grown in a lab, in the shape of a bagel

i have never had a salt bagel, but i like salty flavors w/ bagel so conceptually i see nothing wrong with it

salt bagel - it's a concept - and a feeling - just a chill vibe that people can share together - or just trip out on by themselves - kind of a salty feeling that makes us all remember - we are children of the universe and we are special

srsly bagels are great stop worrying about which kind of bagel i mean just eat a bagel

man this thread gives me depressing memories, because my parents love bagels but they also love saving money, so our house would always be stocked with shoprite frozen bagels, more like frozen nagls

http://ct.mywebgrocer.com/legacy/productimagesroot/DJ/5/175445.jpg

man dayo we chowed on lenders in my childhood too but they are just right for the frozen burgers that are next to them in the freezer iirc

oh man I have never heard of lenders bagels, but apparently they are a frozen bagel innovator? I wonder if shoprite bagels are just rebranded lenders bagels

i said this on an old rrrobyn thread already, but a true Everything bagel should be identical to the universe, and its hole should be absolutely terrifying.

the photo of the guy and his gf eating bagels, wtf is that elaborate set of tools laid out before him on the table? Is that his bagel-eating kit?

In Canada it called "all dressed" not "everything", fun facts DID U KNOW

i resect johns repping 4 salt cause its a mad good bagel and def under appreciated - i usually have to brush off like 2/3 of the salt tho cause its just like too much salt otherwise

wait what makes an everything bagel a bagel if it has everything, i mean bagels fall under everything so?

terrible idea: start a line of big l bagels

like i just want a bagel please

bagels: torus a better future

only thing thats tricky about everything bagels is that some people make them with caraway seeds which ruins them http://images.neopets.com/items/foo_bagel_onion.gif

the sadness of my home baking life is that the person for whom I cook & for whom I enjoy cooking has no love for caraway seeds

j0hn it would never work out between us

no it'd be chill because I care more about the ppl I'm baking for than my own tastes so I stopped using caraway seeds in anything in 1998, just sometimes see a recipe and think man that bread would jump off and I would be proud but then think oh wait no it will get hated on, better bake a cheese bread or a potato bread or something instead

is the east side one the one that wont put cream cheese on your bagel and will only sell it to you by the half pint? wtf @ that http://images.neopets.com/items/foo_bagel_onion.gif

generally imo if you have a bagel w/stuff on it, then you add flavored cream cheese its too much flavor, maybe on a plain bagel, tho i guess i like lox and like tomato or w/e just on there, but not so much in the cream cheese its a lil gross imo, and as far as being 'purist' or w/e you might as well just rep 4 plain bagel plain cream cheese in that case

http://images.neopets.com/items/foo_bagel_onion.gifhttp://images.neopets.com/items/foo_bagel_onion.gifhttp://images.neopets.com/items/foo_bagel_onion.gif

fwiw I think the "bagel w/ 10 things on it" is way less of a bagel than "bagel sucré" - once what you are eating is less than 50% bagel you are not really there for the bagel anymore

also plz dont try and bring me any of this low-fat/non-fat cream cheese bullshit that turns to liquid the second it touches a warm bagel http://images.neopets.com/items/foo_bagel_onion.gif

this bagel is really good you guys

had an excellent everything bagel with jalapeno cream cheese this morning from brooklyn's finest, bergen bagels.

I feel like I don't *get* bagels on some basic level

it's like scientists keep trying to find answers and all they find is more ~questions~

bergen is only ok imo, k pisses me off that there are no super dope bagels in the downtown brooklyn vicinity

i mean shouldnt there be!

blueberry to the end of time. plain w/ egg and chedda. egg bagel! cinnamon sugar = secret donut bagel.

would take bergen bagels over pretty much any bagel in the city. ess a bagel maybe tops it, haven't been there in a while

ur crazy man

does the company 'brooklyn bagel' have any shops that are in broolyn? those are my favorite in queens, so big.

voted asiago just to piss u all off — also u can make excellent sandwiches w/it

throw some roast beef on there, maybe horseradish or like garlic mayo? — that's right, i'm makin up different sandwiches

o hell ya i feel that

fleisch on bagels is against the spirit of the thing

the spirit is willing but the fleisch is delish

twenty year old me: garlic
thirty year old me: everything
fortysumfin me: sesame
san francisco has one or two decent bagel producers. i'm not uber picky as i LOVE mys ome bagels

who?

my only gripe with California bagels is that i wish they weren't all baked on the light side so as to be accessible teething rings. got nothing against babies, but i think a longer bake or a higher temp. would get us closer to a authentic style

there's that place on geary around 14th, and i useda also like the one called bagelry (i believe) on polk around broadway, but haven't been there in years

I don't want a game-ending starch bomb, I just want a damn bagel - it's a snack, not something that goes w/this

bagels are not snacks for me they're meals, so I def want a game-ending starch bomb if 'game' means 'meal'

and I also want a big gulp but I want it to be filled with coffee

i tried a salt bagel once for the novelty factor - it was too freakin... salty

which reminds me i need to start the long overdue salt vs pepper poll

salt wins for historical importance (imo)

PTT you should start this poll – I really love salt.

I mean have you ever seen an adorabl lil pony or sniffy lil rabbit spending its time with a pepper lick? No.

everything bagels are too busy

hmm, i dont even remember ess a bagels being that big. i should revisit a bunch of bagel places in manhattan.

PUMPERNICKEL YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES. JESUS.

and salt bagels are totally fine depending on the grain of the salt and coverage of the salt--some are overkill but i've had plenty a fine salty bagel.

man a pumpernickel bagel is so heavy

these r my 2 fav bagel establishments in the boston area

http://www.kupelsbakery.com
http://www.yelp.com/biz/rosenfeld-bagel-company-newton-center

they both have the iirc oily super soft style cream cheese which im not sure if thats a boston thing or w/e but its v good

bergen bagel rules joe drooles

i had a everything w/ nova scotia lox, capers, tomato, cream cheese from there yesterday

bergen is ok, nothing to get too amped abt

i mean shrug

everything if the everything has salt on it, otherwise salt

i like the cheese ones a lot too but i'd put them under weird category before raisin tbh

bagel places that make an 'everything' bagel but dont put the giant salt crystals on it are fronting big time

which reminds me i need to start the long overdue salt vs pepper poll

will this be a bloodbath or not? interesting

plain bagel all day long

Bagels around Sacramento definitely too lightly baked, also not as dense and chewy as I would prefer.

My weapon of choice, plain bagel, plain schmear. Sometimes a bit of Lox and cucumber but not often. Have a hard time with fish in the morning.

i need to get a bagel right now because of this thread, but i live in buffalo so pity me.

i love salt bagels but i don't recommend getting them with lox as i did one time at ess-a-bagel, because that was a little too salty.

btw makes me sad to see people inveighing against flavored cream cheese itt - mix some smoked salmon, dill & green onion into that shit and spread it on a plain bagel imo

i voted for salt but "ice cr?m" otm about having to wipe off most of the salt for a salt bagel to be edible. is there an english word for that feeling you get when one finger has been made to knock off too much salt and gets that raw pretzel salt-y feeling and you have to switch to another finger or part of the hand to finish the job

My first favourite bagel was the egg bagel from Byerly's in Minneapolis. I like plain and poppyseed - and salt as well, but in some ways this is like a round soft pretzel. Knocking half of the salt off is part of the charm of the salt bagel, and so is having it with unsalted butter. When I was growing up, there was a salt water bagel factory in my town, along with about five proper delicatessens and ALL of these are now closed. Jalapeno bagels are WRONG and as a notional Gentile even I'm saying they're inappropriately goyische. PUT THE JALAPENOS IN THE CREAM CHEESE IF YOU MUST. Suggesting that cinnamon and raisins are somehow unacceptable ingredients in bagels, also wrong - if they're good enough for noodle pudding, they're good enough to go in bagels.

My definition of 'goyim bagel' is any bagel made into a 'sandwich' with non-kosher ingredient combos, eg. ham and cheese.

Brooklyn Bagel is a mini Astoria chain--what a misnomer. I have to get their mini bagels which are the size of an average bagel elsewhere. Just came from there.

Pumpernickel with whitefish salad is the best (thats what I'm eating it right now). I'm basically like that sad aging music critic dude in "Chronic City." Except for special occasions, which call for pumpernickel with cream cheese, lox, tomatoes, onions and capers.

man I love a pumpernickel bagel, that is my 2nd favorite

aerosmith, if your lady ever leaves you and my man ever leaves me, i LOVE SALT BAGELS AND CARAWAY SEEDS.

i just had a *rye* bagel with caraway seeds (and cornmeal dusted on the outside!)

rye bagel sounds like love to me

cornmeal is great

kurt schwitters, it was stupid for you to not include blueberry or cinnamon raisin just because you think those flavors are weird. you need to learn how to poll better. when i would eat at a dining hall, and they were out of everything and plain, blueberry always made a good third choice. i never fuxed with cinnamon raisin though

sonned by captainlorax in a bagel beef

that meme never gets old

I fucking love everything bagels. Garlic is a v close second. Recently, I fell in love w/ sesame bagels when I went to the coffee shop and that was all they had left, and I realized it tasted just like sesame pancakes from Vanessa's Dumpling House xcept I didn't have to go to Chinatown NYC to get them.

Also, hummus is the best thing to put on a bagel, ever. Period.

How much do you like to pay for your bagels? I mean, I like to pay $0.00 but sometimes I'll pay more. Our village bagel shop (Village Bagel) charges $0.95 and they're not even that big, it's kind of a bummer.

your village bagel shop can go fuck off afaic

I mean, 95 seems expensive when my stupid convenience store sells okay ones for 69 and the bakery at ShopRite has pretty great ones for 55

Also fucking otm re: veggie burgers on Lender's bagels. This is a great look, this is really all you need.

i have yr back on salt bagels (practically raised on 'em) but for me this is def. everything

yr back = aerosmith's back, that is

also this thread is making me cry because generally LA doesn't know from bagels (the only ones i've had here are either tiny, sad affairs or giganto mutant kind)

voted for salt bagels because they are more consistently excellent -- because a lot of places can't do a very good plain bagel.

mr. rouge, do you have an opinion on the western bagels chain?

western bagel, minus the s

I have a bad association with salt bagels because the only time I've ever had one was temping at an office and no one offered me any until all the good ones had been taken and only salt was left

Also, hummus is the best thing to put on a bagel, ever. Period.

gtfo here w that hippy shit

kurt schwitters otm

u all suck

btw makes me sad to see people inveighing against flavored cream cheese itt

i don't really go for flavored cream cheese -- it's overpowering. but i don't have any particular invective toward it.

those hippie israelis with their hummus and their uzis

have not tried western bagel - any good?

jalapeno cream cheese is my jam, i hate any and all fruit-flavored ones tho

just because they have uzis doesnt mean they arent techno desert hippies

cream cheese is so gross imo. can just imagine it stacked in my intestines. yark

western bagel is the most acceptable bagel that i can get easily without having to cross the canyon to go to the fairfax area. it's not h&h or anything, but it'll totally do. there's one in studio city.

I Love Salt Bagels

peanut butter on a bagel = gtfo tho

I've done hummus on a bagel in a pinch and it's not bad, but it's not something I'd ever crave.

hummus on bagel = magic if it's the right kinda hummus

also major srs lulz @ dell before I realized he was referring to PrincessTamTam

peanut butter on a ~toasted~ bagel is pretty great

feel like we should devise a sort of scarlet letter to be attached to all posts by cream cheese haters

like, a jpg plain wilted bagel with a sad face drawn onto the bagel

i like pb on bagels sometimes -- i used to get them from my school's library's cafe cuz their cc was gross

i like egg salad on an onion bagel w/honey mustard tbh ok, and i have gotten it this way from bergen bagel

why did del get so mad start falsely accusing me of being someone and disparage royalty?

one time this guy was all 'mm that sounds good' but he was some strange prob mentally ill man trying to make conversation inside the bagel place, i was all 'yeah'

peanut butter on a bagel = gtfo tho

I know this would only happen on the planet of the disgusting savages but just theoretically if you found yourself faced with death by firing squad or eating a cinnamon sugar bagel with peanut butter and jelly, the latter option would maybe actually be kinda delicious

"cream cheese beef"

ok ew

xpost lol you are the laziest at adopting new personas evah

ftr i don't think anyone should be banned

roast beef w/cream cheese. pickled red onions and arugula on a bagel is the best thing ever.

ok i could get down with that (but easy on the CC)

pumpernickel is quality but sux w/cream cheese, best w/butter

I'm just gonna rank the bagels here & then the rest of youse will not be so confused

1. salt
2. pumpernickel
3. garlic
4. sesame
5. marble rye
6. plain
7. onion
8. asiago
9-∞ all others

maybe sundried can weasel in there between 8 & 9

man yr really going full goy on this one

oh yeah my one (ok two) caveats re: salt bagel love = 1) butter, not CC 2) i do not want a salt lick in the shape of a bagel, a light-to-moderate sprinkling is key

I'm still not really sure what 'schmear' is but the word makes me want to vom and never eat anything ever again.

Anyway, best bagel is everything with plain cream cheese, or onion or poppy seed with garlic & chive Philly or similar.

roast beef w/cream cheese. pickled red onions and arugula on a bagel is the best thing ever.

would eat, but like donna said, easy on the cc.

i could eat pickled red onions on anything though. so good.

i like when they get bright pink

Yum

I don't have aesthetic or moral objections to bagel sandwiches - it's that they're unwieldy to fit in yr mouth half at a time. I eat my lox or whitefish on bagels open-face style.

that roast beef combo sounds good, might be better and easier to handle on rye w/mustard. or an onion roll! now a bagel burger is where I draw the line.

pickled onions like the easiest thing to make, great to just 'keep in the fridge' for w/e

where do we stand on Bagel Bites

I've had pretty decent LA bagels at place on San Vicente called uh New York bagel

pls to tell me how to make pickled onions

I used to work across the street from this place which claims to be the home of the pizza bagel. For some reason it was months before I finally tried one but my god they were amazing.

http://www.hiddenboston.com/images/KatzBagel.jpg

i went out for a bagel because of this thread and the only decent bagel place i know of closed at 4 and i had to eat all these other foods to compensate and i am still unsatisfied

:(

also - sesame bagel lightly toasted with light veg cream cheese but sometimes I switch that up and get either egg or everything

for some reason my dad has always thought that cinn raisin are my fav and he gets bagels every morning when I'm home (lol long island) and always buys me one. I'll eat them but they're def not (nor ever have been) my fav but I don't have the heart to tell him.

that's sweet (no pun intended)

pls to tell me how to make pickled onions

― kurt schwitters, Sunday, March 20, 2011 6:13 PM (1 minute ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

well there are various techniques but today i will hold forth on the 'quickel method' whereby you cook the to be pickled item in brine and they are ready to eat immediately

first make yr brine - you can mess w/the proportions/ingredients but a basic one could look like 4 parts water, 4 parts vinegar, 1 part salt, 1 part sugar - you can also throw in any sort of herb or spice youd like to flavor the situation with at this point, really could be anything, whatever you add the pickles will taste like that, im a fan of thyme personally

bring the brine to a boil and throw in yr sliced up onions (or whatever, i enjoy pickling radishes w/this method v much) - cook them until they reach yr desired constancy - really depends on how thick you sliced them etc but maybe 3 minutes or so

strain out the onions and shock them w/cold water to stop the cooking - save the brine

you can eat the onions now - and theyre even better after being stored overnight in the fridge w/the cooled brine - they keep a long time as theyre lol pickles - great to have around!

bagel broker on beverly near fairfax is pretty decent.
ess-a-bagel was dope back in the day.
the smell of toasted cinnamon raisin bagel disgusts me
poppy is my fav but for some reason usually go with sesame

xxpost - yeah. he's always like, "Look, I got your favorite!" too so I just can't tell him.

panera bagels are goyish but they're actually toothsome in a way that most west coast bagels aren't. they have a nice bite.

agree on the panera tip

Wait ACTUALLY the best bagel is a hypothetical everything cinnamon raisin bagel, but bcz that's not real I'll have the cr bagel that was at the bottom of the bag underneath all of the other everything bagels, tyvm.

savory + sweet ftw

for whatever reason onion bagels, bad breath nonwithstanding, are my go to. poppy seed I like but the mess annoys me.

This thread reminds me of this time I was at Stop & Shop w my friend and in the bakery the sign for their asiago bagels says Always Asiago and I got my friend and was like "Sally help can you plz tell me how often these bagels are asiago?" and she laughed so hard she died r.I.p. Sally

i <3 u stevie d

oh lol

read that whole thing too quickly and thought that she actually died. Not from laughing but, you know, just in general and was going to be all sad for u but no, I'm just not so quick sometimes.

poor sally :(

:( lay down, sally

RIP sally a moment of silence for all the victims of the son of sam

always asiago, sometimes sally

sally free and cheesy

my dad puts peanut butter on his bagels and it's like, sad-eyes forever

saaaaaaaaad eyes, turn the other way

( u_u)

Peanut butter on bagels is perfectly acceptable, and is indeed preferable to regular butter.

yeah peanut butter on a bagel is pretty good

salt bagels - BLECH

I grew up on Lenders mini bagels toasted black and slathered with butter. Good times.

i put peanut butter on a cinnraisin bagel just this morning! http://images.neopets.com/items/foo_bagel_onion.gif

i do kinda like this bagel emblem thing http://images.neopets.com/items/foo_bagel_onion.gif

peanut butter on a bagel is good? that's just like, too much chewiness

Ciderpress otm

btw I just rememberd about tony bagels

― sarahel

somebody posted a pic of the place - house of bagels - shortly after i posted so i just assumed that locals picked up on that.
now i just remembered about corn rye that HoB makes. those are my alternate fave

Much like pizza the only way to measure a bagels full worth is to order it plain

lox, creem cheese and red onion on a salt bagel is good.

But don't eat the large round doughy pieces of bread called bagels in Washington DC suburban grocery stores like Safeway and Giant. They're not like "real" NY bagels.

Safeway bagels are p gross

Voted wheat! I love chewy wheaty bread. Bagel version is the best. I get'm plain. I bet mine will be the only vote.

Here we see Dell enjoying a TRUE everything bagel bcz hummus is a part of everything fuiud

if I had hummus and a bagel I would eat the bagel on its own and then the hummus on its own

to tell the truth Stevie, we can't tell from that photo if Del is "enjoying" the hummus on his everything bagel or is in the middle of a 'ugh gross who put hummus on this bagel' reaction

but it's a lovely photo of Del nonetheless

this thread is making me crave a bagel in the worst way

Worst as in with hummus?

goddammit

yknow, if someone offered me a bagel with hummus, I probably wouldn't refuse it right now, that's how bad my craving is

stfu everyone I know I know hypocrite alert woop woop

Hummus is good on everything!

Truth Bomb

I particularly like it on veggie burgers.

I almost got an asiago bagel this morning in honor of StevieD.

I am sure hummus is not good on a 3rd degree burn

I can't believe that is the exact poultice my 1940s babysitting manual advises for "the nerve damage of little misbehavers."
xp

I was kidding I love hummus and I would take it on a bagel way before butter... ugh. I'm very particular about the amount of cream cheese I can handle as well.

In Loving Memory of Sally, Our Lady of Asiago Lulz

but srsly how many of you have gone out of your way to get a bagel you prob otherwise wouldn't have bcz of this thread? Like d and I totally made plans to get hangover bagels this morning before we even started drinking.

that was xp to enbb btw

Few things excite me like the prospect of a toasted everything with butter, but some of these sound very promising - Sun-Dried Tomato, Jalapeno Cheddar, egg?

good ed levine article on best bagels in nyc and some history (some info about the old bagel makers union)

some choice quotes:

Even such Midwestern depredations as blueberry bagels have gained a stronghold in certain precincts of New York City.

I'm begrudgingly willing to let cinnamon-raisin into the bagel pantheon, and certainly pumpernickel, even "everything."

But if God had wanted sun-dried tomatoes put into bagels, he would have put more bagel bakers in Italy.

Egg bagels would probably kill me.

I brought my lunch to work with me but am now planning to go in search of Folsom's only bagel place to have a bagel for lunch.
See what you have done ILX?

I'm sure it will be not great but I need a bagel so bad, I'm willing to accept that possibility.

Would it kill anyone to just make cinnamon bagels without adding the raisins?

Yes. Yes it would.

Well they have cinnamon sugar bagels, and also I'm p sure I've seen regular cinnamon bagels before. Very, very annoying to buy one and find out it has no raisins in it.

My girlfriend was just complaining the other day about how you can never get wheat bagels w/seeds or onions or raisins or anything, it's always just plain wheat.

a lot of places in ny have whole wheat everything or whole wheat sesame

I just read that this bagel place in Folsom that I will be seeking out at lunchtime has something called a "Pesto Bagel"

I am afraid. I am very afraid.

WTF is wrong with just putting pesto on a bagel for ppl who want such things? Why ruin a perfectly good bagel with pesto ffs

West Coast problems

Pesto baked into the bagel? Nooooooooo

I would try a pesto bagel

sounds more interesting than hummus or pb really

Pesto rules.

As a spread or topping on a bagel, yeah! I don't want to lose the fresh basil flavor by baking it into the bread.

that's a good point

exactly...hummus, pesto, all these things aren't 100% desirable but putting any of them into the bagel itself is a recipe for sadness

I would be more willing to experiment w/ a crappy grocery store bagel than a good bagel

nothing to lose really

well I'm hoping this kooky place has plain bagels and isn't some crazy premade bagel sandwich disaster.

the fact that it's called "Posh Bagel" concerns me...but I will withhold judgement until I've gotten my bagel fix

bagel simmered in lobster juice iirc

whole wheat everything
whole wheat everything
i'm 'bout to kill 'em this summer
i'm doin whole wheat everything

I usually don’t go for the sweet bagel but French toast bagels can be mad good

I have never heard of such a thing

It’s a jersey thing I think. I mean I never heard of them before I lived here

guh

http://www.alwayshungryny.com/thought-for-food/entry/alwaysstrong-french-toasted-french-toast-bagels-from-bagelman-deliman-merri/

that doesn't sound right to me. French toast done with bagels, I could be on board for. But making a french toast flavored bagel seems inherently wrong

and then using the french toast flavored bagel to make french toast? shudder

I've had french toast bagels before. They're p good but not a contender for fav.

French toast done with bagels, I could be on board for

this is what they do by me. just an egg bagel

i feel like i have myself on at least one occasion made french toast from a bagel

it makes sense to me...a chewy bagel, done french toast style...that could be hella good

I made bread pudding w/old bagels once & it turned out well.

wd eat ALL of that

damn I am so hungry

salt bagel like a mug

salt bagel sounds to me like a pretzel

is that what it is, or is it so much more than that?

I've got this ridiculously overpowered Panasonic microwave (which I've considered just starting a blog for b/c how abhorring things come out just after 50secs), but it does v well for bagels. Warmth + thorough chewiness is how all bagels should be eaten... I haven't used my toaster for, like, anything since.

xp i love soft pretzels, so maybe that figures in my salt bagel love

breaking news: Posh Bagel actually met, possibly exceeded expectations! None of the terrifying scariness the name suggested. Straight up bagel bakery, some premade sandwich options but you can pick whatever you want with whatever you want on top. Nice chewy bagel with a little bit of a crust on it, cream cheese, lox and cucumber...pretty freaking delicious.
It met all the requirements of my craving.

in what universe is cinnamon raisin weird but "jalapeno chedder" (sic) not weird? talk to the hand with your strange goyische bagels.

OTM. International observers have declared this poll fraudulent.

QUIZ: Which of the following ingredients was common in the old world shtetl:

A) Raisins
B) Jalapeno Peppers
C) Cheddar Cheese

One time I was in a dimly lit meeting room and I helped myself to what I thought was a cinnamon raisin bagel, and threw on some strawberry cream cheese because I was feeling saucy...I took a bite and realized it was a jalapeno bagel. SADFACE

a raisin bagel with cheddar cheese *on* it is delicious.

nope, sorry

that's like the crazy people like my dad who say that jam and cheese is great

mmm, jam and cheese is the best

SB

Yeah it's strange but I have had cinnamon raisin w/vegi cream cheese. Not bad at all

yeah could be, the OP is already banned

cheese bagel w/ roast beef w/ dijon w/ lettuce & tomato w/ pepper jack w/ mayo w/ avocado w/ slight horseradish

=

in my mouth

horseradish kinda ruined it tho, dunno what i was thinking

yeah I was just thinking with the mayo and the avocado, and the dijon, horseradish prolly overkill

sounds delish tho

mayo on a bagel?

i can't even

I'm not saying there aren't problems

everything w/ schmear
red onion
roma tomato
dill
black pepper
sprouts

dont know who kurt swishers is but i can get down w/ this

― gr8080,

Dill is too hard to find in cafes but this is my bagel too. if they charge per topping i'll skip the sprouts.

you guys are just eating sandwiches that happen to have bagels as the bread

A bagel is just a sandwich that doesn't have any toppings/ingredients.

xpost truth bomb

jam and cheese people, you're on notice.

jam and vegemite

love their production on the first two Janet albums

Lol corey

Jam and blue cheese is tottally a thing

I hate all of you Londoners with easy access to Beigel Bake, I would dominate 2 maybe 3 easily right now.

shasta what's your take on House of Bagels?

No idea what that is but it is clearly inferior to Beigel Bake, the best bagel I've had outside of Asia.

http://cityist.truth.travel/media/images/ts_beigel-bake_100325.jpg

I'm sure that's good but that would probably still be good if you replaced the bagel w/ bread

whereas if you have a nice new york bagel w/ cream cheese and you replace the bagel with bread, then, well that sucks

let's call this the VORB factor

bagelmetrics

where are the good bagels in asia? i was interested to read that a lot of nyc's best bagel places are owned or operated by thai immigrants.

i didn't know about thai immigrants (that's probably a newer phenomenon) but when i was growing up it was indians/pakistanis.

the bagel place I went to yesterday was run by a Vietnamese dude

wait, I thought south asians ran all the dunkin donuts

one day ILX will be an ethnic bread/carb poll

naan vs bagels vs sourdough vs pumpernickel etc. etc. etc.

there will be baguettes

best south-asian owned food-service business

best bagel place near me is owned by an indian dude

So this place by my parents' house has EGG EVERYTHING bagels. I feel like I've hit bagel gold. So good.

Wtf is the appeal if an egg bagel? What does it do besides not be vegan?

It does being yummy very well imo.

The have a slight sweetness? It's sort of hard to explain but really tasty.

The have a slight lameness am i rite?

nope

They're like a hybrid of bagel and challah bread and very, very toothsome (HATE that word but 'bitey' doesn't cut it).

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

this poem in a recent issue of The New Yorker made a Kurt Schwitters reference and i was like "R.I.P."

raisin, dopes

no way did you just cast a vote in a bagel poll for raisin bagel

I am just rejecting that possibility right now for the sake of my own sanity

after all that jew-pride shit kurt schwitters made his bagel poll end on passover

I mean really

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

congrats all of you w/adhd palates

I want all of the flavors

the everything bagel won the bagel poll

there's no God and the universe is void of meaning or purpose

world is terrible

our long national nightmare has begun

dogs & cats, living together

looool

these results are like margarine beating vegemite in the "what's best on toast" poll

also they're like a terrible calamity in which millions all die at the same time and the sky is darkened forever

srsly wondered who the FUCK eats everything bagels. now i know its ilx.

they eat them with margarine rubbed all over them

(selves)

rubbed all over theyselves

all over thy selves

it's all over...

this is the worst day in history

let's just call of this _whole damn world_.

I forgot to vote so add one to everything

I feel pretty confident that cin raisin would win a real poll

or call it "off", really

french toast bagel v cin raisin bagel FITE

I am the poppy seed

Guys my bubbe was just rushed to the ER and is being treated for a heart attack

"Please, ILX!", she cried, "Not again! Not on Passover!"

my first thought when i saw the results of this poll was for underrated aerosmith tbh. my condolences!

seriously don't understand all the criticism for everything bagels, all the stuff goes well together

do they have everything donuts?

I'm pretty sure they make everything pizza

http://foodmuses.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/grill-everything-pizza-10.jpg

ok the first hit online for an everything donut search is someone cataloging their dreams

"I dreamt i was eating this donut, and it was focusedup close on every inch of this donut in my dream. Every bite i took revealed something new in the donut. It was a different kind of donut every time i looked at it, and each bite was equally deluctable. I remember the first bite revealed a filling of fig with berry glaze and sugar on top. It was an amazing donut, but i find it odd that there was such an intense focus on it. I can't even be sure i was eating the donut."

it's like those people that mix together everything on their plate into one gross mess

4th horseman would not even come to destroy if he had a salt bagel, he would be all like "oh you know what never mind I got a salt bagel here I am just gonna chill & read the People, there's a story about Paul Simon, wow he got old, still you gotta admit he wrote some decent tunes"

do you know what would be a good idea

i mean if you could only make everything bagels by cannibalising the toppings of other bagels & leaving them desesamed & depoppied then that would be one thing xxp

if you mix every color together you get brown. think about that, everything lovers.

everything bagels are the worst. PICK SOMETHING

do y'all apply this logical fallacy to salads

yes

i actually think everything bagels are good. i just would not pick them as "the best"

gr8080 eats his salad dressed with golden italian, creamy italian, french, russian, golden hawaiian, ranch, czech, french ranch, all the fucking new age annie's varieties, all the paul williams, i mean paul newman's varieties, plus some chef boyardee sauce. y'know, everything. american style.

you fucking moron the accurate parallel to salad dressing would be cream cheese. get a brain.

i wouldn't know anything about cream cheese. i live in philadelphia

I think I have had plain bagels from this place (if it is near where Nick used to live) and they are all I am looking for in plain bagels:

Where can I find this again in the tri-state area or in Ottawa if not in Montreal?

Everything I am looking for in wheat or whole grain bagels was in the bagels served in Stanford dining halls in the early 90s before Noah's took over.

I will never find these things again.

cant find a decent bagel in SF smh

isn't there an app for that

I think it's called Bagelio

http://www.seriouseats.com/2015/06/best-bagels-san-francisco-bay-area-oakland.html

hey thanks for that im going to eat all those

I just eat the bagels from Rainbow, dunno where they come from

those are House of Bagels (geary is where their store is) and those are totally decent. the best one i've had in sf proper is from Marla's bakery. they have a storefront bakery in the mission somewhere east of folsom around 22nd (iirc)and a restaurant on balboa. and in the easy bay, beauty's bagels are a killer Montreal style

Pretty pumped that the little grocery by my place now stocks the only good bagels in Seattle (actually Eltana is alright but Bagel Oasis has been there for me since old times). Poppy btw.

house of bagels was indeed a decent bagel when i visited last

if i ever visit montreal i'll prob end up having bagels 90% of my meals

there's a place in Oakland near Jack London Square that is the best Bay Area bagel I have found so far

^^name names, sarah!

bagel disaster this morning. we had panera delivery. so i grabbed the last everything bagel and put cream cheese on it. bit in and it was some weird marshmallow cream concoction. threw it in the trash and grabbed what i thought was marble rye. put the cream cheese on it, took a bite and it was a cinnamon bagel. i hate everything fuck life.

haha i had forgotten the name, it is "Authentic Bagel Company"

http://www.abagelcompany.com/

I do not understand why ppl like bagels that look/taste like muffins, just eat muffins ffs

i will always defend a scooped bagel btw.

i rate bagels based on whether they are good just toasted with unsalted butter

bagel spot in my neighborhood has a feta dill cream cheese, it's a savory success imo

remake?

i thought they had remade it with the Rock or someone like that?

also in terms of shows, a mutual friend of mine & shakey's is doing live music to The Man Who Laughs at Atlas Cafe next week -- Monday?

that Rock remake thing hasn't happened yet, it's just in development

I will brook no criticism of Wise Sons, good sir

(also, anyone who tells you that brooklyn bagel's non-hearth bagels are the best in l.a. has never actually had a good bagel. they are completely generic and running on PR fumes.)

multigrain

wise sons fucking sucks im sorry. their bagels and bialis are ok but they are stupidly overpriced, their breakfast is super shitty, their pastrami is disgustingly fatty, i can go on and on. they try so hard and get it so wrong.

I didn't know they even served breakfast tbh

I go there for the reubens and chicken schnitzel

and egg cremees

enjoy your mediocre $15 reuben.

lol

it would be funny if that was your last post

*eats reuben*

seriously though, every time i've walked by that place and thought about eating there, i didn't because it was overpriced

i bet the bagel sitch in London is as least as bad as it is in Hawaii

Amy Winehouse
leaves her house accompanied by a minder and heads to the Jewish shopping area of London, Golders Green.
Amy visited Carmelli bagel bakery and famous kosher restaurant Blooms.
The singer happily posed for photographs with fans and seemed in good spirits in London, England on July 4, 2008.

oh i thought it was a joke

tons of jews in the uk

at an average weight of seven and a half stone, it would only require 27 jews to meet this description. unless we are speaking of tonnes.

had a bagel from House of Bagels yesterday -- it was ok, not great

that's the one that's in the Richmond (?) right?

yeah, my fave thing abt HoB is that they do corn/rye bagels...the same way sf was once a pizza desert it's still that way for bagels imo

sarah u going to jon gibson on sat?

probably not

i started using "tell me what your favorite bagel is" as my opener when i match with someone new on tinder, pretty good results so far

we have a hipster bagel bar/truck in my town. I don't know what they're like though.
My o/h mentioned to people at his work that he has bagels for breakfast (generic "New York bakery co" ones) and two separate people said that that's a posh thing to do.

this is UK btw

as in they like the same bagels you like or you get laid?

as in it breaks the ice gets a conversation started, sheesh sarahell

i got a couple bagels from this new spot a few blocks from my place called Old Brooklyn Cafe

oh hey i work right next to that place how was it

you work in Oakland? i just got them, haven't eaten them yet

this place has $11 sandwiches, so the bagels could be good, or they could have the wise sons issue

yah im in that big building that does that music thing right there.

is Ike's douchey or no? I have not been there

ikes is ok i dont hate

what about that weird sushi burrito place? i don't really understand it. it used to be an insurance office iirc

i dont like sushi burritos. bento place is good.

ill tell ya what theres a salmon salad at luka's taproom that im obsessed with though

bagel verdict -- maybe a little less flavor in the plain bagel, but more or less on par with the House of Bagels bagel

i got bagels from Beauty's Bagels today. they actually had bagels. The other time I tried to get bagels there they had a chicken & waffles pop-up and no bagels.

what about that weird sushi burrito place

ugh there's a sushirrito place in downtown SF which I oppose on principle

i think that shitty dear mom bar has like $12 bagel pop up night.

how many bagels do you get for $12?

gripping revive

sushi burritos sound/look disgusting. who wants that much rice? (cheap joke about mission-style burritos goes here.)

YOU GET ONE BAGEL!

NO WONDER EVERYONE MAKES FUN OF THAT PLACE!!!!

the Beauty's plain bagel is on par with the last two bagels I had, but I also got one of their "salt and pepper" bagels -- way less salt than on a standard salt bagel -- and it was pretty dope.

but Bagel Oasis has been there for me since old times).

very cool all the same

hey cory. did gr8080 call you a bunch of times to say aloha when you asked people to leave voicemails for you?

gr8080, i want to go to that one too. i love sleek modern building to an irrational degree.

also, bagels. we went to vancouver last weekend but somehow couldn't find a convenient tim horton's at which to buy pretzel bagels; they are shockingly good.

NYT weighs in:
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/26/magazine/why-is-it-so-hard-to-get-a-great-bagel-in-california.html?_r=0

that place sucks! also: IT'S THE WATER!

i've only gotten to this part, but i laughed

To celebrate with their sales reps, Murray and Marvin Lender, two of Harry’s sons, walked Len, an eight-foot-tall Lender’s bagel, down the aisle to meet Phyl, his Kraft Philadelphia cream cheese bride.

I will fight you over Wise Sons pick yr weapon
xxp

Authentic Bagel Co. sourdough rye bagel is really good. Their plain bagel is good too!

I guess I don't actually know which "place" chaki's referring to - just assumed it was Wise Sons - but hey let's fight. about pastrami (and bagels)

he has expressed his dislike for wise sons earlier this thread

everytime this thread is bumped i am again enraged about the lack of a pumpernickel option.

you live near so many delicious bagels, ian, my envy is rising

trying to figure out how someone could vote against everything

i like a more minimal bagel

article is v funny btw thx shakes

I was in SF recently and while I didn't bother looking for a good bagel the Burmese food is the best I've had in the states, so keep ya head up

most of the food here is more awesome than food elsewhere in the country, with bagels being one of the most glaring exceptions

no argument!

where did u get Burmese k3vin?

I am so sad when I go to other states and witness the appalling state of vegetables served etc.

the summer I lived in the midwest, that was very true, apart from the corn and tomatoes. but for a lot of my youth, i grew up in a literal farm-to-table household so i just didn't understand why people bought canned and frozen fruit and vegetables.

shakey we went to burma superstar on clement. my gf's parents are from burma, and i lived on the burmese border for a few months, so we had high expectations but the place was pretty great

Yeah that place is good, no idea how "authentic" it is

burma superstar is really good! after years of assuming it was just another over-rated place for white ppl, i actually ate there, (the one in Oakland). I've also had cheaper burmese food in East Oakland that was just as good, but that doesn't make burma superstar less good. Just higher overhead.

there are definitely some white ppl "fusion" items on the menu, but they mark the authentic cuisine so you can seek those out if you want them. we ordered a bunch of the authentic items and it was pretty comparable to what we'd had in that part of the world

i was a little surprised that they gave everyone chopsticks tho because generally burmese people don't use chopsticks, except maybe for noodle dishes

i loved bumra superstar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfODIc0n_Yg

Bumra the ever-living

I wish I'd gone to Burmese Superstar. I went to somewhere up near Geary, maybe it was Mandalay? Anyway that was good Burmese.

burma superstar is awesome! bstar (their sister cafe) is good for breakfast! wise sons is terrible!

The Burma Superstar in Alameda's even better cuz there's none of that ridiculous line-waiting shit

ha the one in san fran has a quickly' bubble tea just a few doors down, so our 20-minute wait wasn't bad

yah 540 club is a good dive too. all in all an a+ block in sf imo.

I will only give that block an A+ if the Rockit Room is gone

is that the Quickly that that SF Supervisor got prosecuted for?

hey man at least it's a venue of some sort on that side of town.

i never hear about any shows there -- it's like the suburbs, or the East Bay, minus a body of water separating it from the main part of the city

nobody wants to play there cuz the owners/personnel are total assholes

tru

like sub-Russian mafia guys with bluetooth earpieces that act like they're running some hotshit top dollar nightclub.

I put my unfinished beer down on a table to go onstage and soundcheck, when I get offstage a couple minutes later my beer has been "bussed" - "oh that was the last of your drink tickets? another beer will be $8" We were also told that no one who was not in the band (ie our friends, significant others) was allowed in the "green room" area.

They just treat the performers like shit.

xp

what is a sub-Russian? Ukrainian? Georgian?

haha perhaps confusing my ethnic signifiers there - I meant guys that act/look like they're in the Russian mafia (maybe they are, who knows)

ohhhhhhhhh yeah that's the neighborhood for them

now it's called "Neck of the Woods", apparently?

oh I hear show announcements for Neck of the Woods

absolutely nothing beats a B/E/C on a quality everything bagel with hot sauce

that sounds like a very fussy bagel

i'll take just creamcheese on an everything bagel - i'm easy
