I know, there are boring but important things going on in the world. But I have some exciting news about my favorite food, bagels! If I were to spend office time making a pie chart of the food I eat, it would look like this:

So clearly, any news about bagels is big news. And this is good news, too: Next week, local natural bread maker/prison-to-work program Dave’s Killer Bread will be unveiling a line of bagels! The “Good Seed Halos” will be sold in grocery stores, like other Dave’s Killer Bread products. The bagels were test marketed at the Portland Farmers’ Market over the summer. I haven’t tried them yet, but they will be seedy. Here’s a photo, if you want to look at some bagels on the internet. Did anyone try these at the Farmers’ Market over the summer? It’s hard to find a quality bagel in this town (Tastebud?), so fingers crossed for these being not too squishy, not too chewy, and not too hard.

Sarah Shay Mirk reported on transportation, sex and gender issues, and politics at the Mercury from 2008-2013. They have gone on to make many things, including countless comics and several books.

  2. Had these straight from the Dave’s Killer Bread store. Really good, but it’s pretty much like eating the good seed bread in the shape of a bagel.

  4. They were sampling those at the “Brunch on the Bridge” this summer. It was the most substantial food to be found. Pretty tasty, as I recall.

  5. @Ginny, I almost bought some at New Seasons yesterday. The price seems a bit much, $4.69 for 4 bagels. But if they’re actually good, it’s worth it.

  6. I tried these at New Seasons and I think they need to make them more bagel-like. Agree with comment #2. I like the Dave’s products a lot, but this is the one product of theirs I’ve tried that I wouldn’t recommend.

  7. Sorry for trolling your bagel posts, smirk. But a BAGEL cannot be sold in a plastic bag in a supermarket. That, as pointed out above is DONUT/BREAD/O-LOAF. BAGEL is sold within 6 hours of cooking always, from baskets/shelves mounted on the wall. Usually by groups of a dozen, with an extra thrown in, in a brown paper bag. Stop the defamation!

  8. just had kettlemen’s from SE 11th this morning and something seemed… wrong. now i know. this is a sad day for bagel lovers in PDX… and a BIG opening for a real independent, GOOD bagel company to open ASAP.
