Also for anyone who actually likes a good bagel head on over to Bagelland on Fremont, they have reopened following the fire at the clothing store next door.
@6....true, but there are a lot of idiots from Portland proper standing in line at Voodoo. Does that make them better? Im with most of you, don't mess with a good product. Oh, and given some of the stupid shit some of you and this publication gets worked up about (Red Dawn? seriously? Portlandia?) I don't finding wanting good bagels so absurd.
It's not just about the bagels. For me, it's more about the fact that this corporation will do nothing for our community. No more local suppliers like Stumptown, no more wholesale to places like New Seasons or Whole Foods. And of course, no more delicious bagels. Go look at Einstein's FB photos of the garbage these people try to pass off as a bagel.
What Mmmmmbagels said. I actually think it's quite cool that people are hijacking Einstein's FB page to vent. If ya don't like it, well, nobody's holding a gun to your head forcing you to read it...
My ass and blood sugar levels owe the Einstein's corporation a debt of gratitude for getting rid of Kettleman's, but my taste buds want to send Luca Brasi after them.
I just hope New Seasons can get a new bagel provider with tasty bagels.
So the stores that are now Kettelman's will be Einstein Bros and will only have 5 varieties of boiled bagels? The rest will be trucked/frozen?
Just kidding, I love bagels. Bagels by the Sea make the best bagels in the state.
