Hi Sean. I shared my "Bagels in the Barbados" with my Calif. brother. He wrote back the following. Enjoy.
"I'm with you on the bagels. In this neck of the woods, Sara Lee (ugh) frozen bagels are the standard. Can't think of anything more boring than a Sara Lee bagel. My marketing jumps out of me to at least call them Sara Leminsky Bagels (or some variation).
Some 3 or so years ago, we travelled with some friends of ours to NYC. The bagels there blew them away. It was like they were "born again"! My buddy Rich still talks about them and in fact, he had some mail order from Katz's in the lower East Side.
I did find a bagel bakery run by Asian folks in Pebble Beach that do a pretty good job so when I can, I bring a dozen or so back with me to Modesto.
In the blind Bagel Quest we picked Bean’s as #1 so we’re looking forward to visiting Bloom Bistro in Georgetown!
Awesome. I believe they came in No. 2 overall in that.
