Can't beat the Asiago Bagels at Panera
but did someone mention an Einsteins?? I do love their goodies

As a former brooklyite, i can tell you that it is all about the water.
if the crummy Florida water is filtered before they make the dough the bagel will be great.
guaranteed.
I used to own a pizzeria on the pompano/ft lauderdale border, filtered the water had great pizza. So I am in the know of what i speak.

There are only a couple of places that come to mind for good NY Bagels available in Florida, WWW.tastybagels.com, or www.bagelboss.com made in NY and shipped anywhere in the U.S.

LOL, you want a good NY bagel, go to NY... 8)

Kahuna & Gwen,

What I wouldnt give for a good N.Y. or Chicago bagel! Everything else tastes like cardboard. Wish someone in Florida would learn how to make a great bagel. >Dont get me started!

Do you think that we could convince diskman to come down and open another shop?

[Hyacinth Bucket]

Hi Nonie,

If the bagel man can find a way to keep bagels fresh we will bring you some the next time we fly down. Hopefully they will be made that day.

What kind do you like?

I am a Southerner that went Yankee for 25 years and am back to a Southerner.

When I went to my first "breakfast rolls" desk in NJ, they had "dinner" rolls and bagels with butter and cream cheese. In the south we had cinnamon buns and donuts. I had my first bagel. Hard as a rock and tough to chew. As time went by I found out that a fresh bagel and a day old bagel were the same. Hard as a rock and tough to chew.

I now get my bagels at Publix and Albertsons. Both are good if sliced and toasted and covered in butter and jelly.

The rye and raisin at Publix and Albertsons and the Jalapeno at Albertsons are the best. The wife likes the everything bagel.

HB,

Thankyou for your kind offer!

Plain or egg pleeeeease! ;D

All we know is Lender's bagels. No Jewish delis around?

Earlier in this thread someone mentioned Toojays for bagels but no one commented whether they'd ever tried them. Since everything at Toojays is excellent, I'd be willing to bet Toojays has excellent bagels as well.

Not only are their bagels great but the rye bread is also superb.

Read where we're getting a bakery by The Starbucks in front of Walmart so maybe we'll get some good bagels there.
