Are they still kettled there? Despite a large Jewish population in my
area, bagels have devolved into misted circular rolls, rather than
something you have to really exercise your jaws to consume. And I've
seen blasphemies such as ham and cheese 'bagels'. I think they were much
better before they became popular with the larger culture :-).
