Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4968341, member: 405"] Bruegger's isn't a bad bagel. Even down in NYC or the tri-state area, most of them are too bready, even at H&H, which used to be great, years and years ago. My all-time favorite New York bagel was the onion bagel with butter at Zabar's when they had a place in Grand Central Terminal, probably 25-30 years ago, now. LOL. A good bagel has a bit of crunch, but not too much, some yeastiness to the flavor (which adds a bit of sweetness) and real malt. Fresh in the morning, the butter melted all over your hands as you ate them. I will add, upon re-reading your comment, that Bruegger's is not the place to go for a breakfast sandwich. Totally agree with that. A bagel is no better as sandwich bread than an English muffin is - which is to say, "not at all". [/QUOTE]
