Back when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s, bagels were an exotic food. We had to drive to the other side of Cleveland to get them - my family (often accompanied by other familes) would make the long trek to Corky & Lenny's deli, and then pick up fresh bagels at the 'factory' a couple doors down in the strip mall.

Next thing I knew, Lender's was making bagel-shaped objects for the masses.

Nowadays we've got their curated artisinal offspring. They're still not bagels.
