I've been neglecting you.
There is no reason why I have abandoned you for caffeine.
They aren't mutually exclusive.

LA
I'm in LA meeting my professional mentor, Ryan Stoner, and I asked him where to go for the best bagels in town.
Right around the corner from where we were eating is a spot called Bagelworks, that I'm told to check out. After an amazing lunch with the crew from Omelet, I venture over to place an order. Without knowing I have any intention of blogging about the experience, the guy behind the counter offers me a free cup of coffee. For $1.98 I got a plain bagel with cream cheese and a cup of coffee. While the bagel was better than the coffee, the experience was pleasurable and the service was just as quick as NYC and maybe even a little friendlier.

A rivalry worth noting
Canadians contend that Montreal bagels are superior to those from NY.
My roommate Casey hails from Canada and exposed me to the delicious treat that is the Montreal bagel. When her boyfriend Ronnie arrived with several bags of these foreign bagels, I too could not contain my glee. The best way to describe the difference between NYC and Montreal bagels is through analogies. Thick to thin. Fluffy to Compact. Shmear ready to Shmear not necessary.
The Benchmark
The Bagel Chateau will serve as the benchmark against which all other bagel establishments are judged.
It is the reason I made it through so many grueling 6AM swimming practices and survived the morning after so many crazy nights. If you ever visit the fine little town of Westfield, you should check it out.
I'd recommend the everything bagel with cream cheese and lox.

Bagel Bitch
Born in Mt. Kisco, NY and bred in Westfield, NJ...
bagels have been a staple of my diet for as long as I've had teeth.
Growing up in a suburb of NYC has allowed me the opportunity to be exposed to (and spoiled by) the best of the best. My friends tell me I'm a harsh critic with impossible expectations and when it comes to bagels, I'd have to agree.
Since I've moved about the globe from Sydney to the South, there has been one thing I search for every place I go.
