We Can Help The Utes Get Recruits

"NCAA To Let Recruits Have Bagel Spreads - Let The Bribery Begin" - CafeMom.com
There seem to be a lot of these regulations that are totally ridiculous and ineffective, and that's why the NCAA legislative council will consider 91 changes to them when it meets in January. Hallelujah ... I guess? At the very least, it might do away with legislation passed only TWO years ago (?!?!?) that prohibits schools from providing student-athletes with complimentary butter or jam packets to accompany any bagels, fruits, or nuts. (Before that, schools couldn't bribe kids with any food at all, save energy bars. Ha.)

But Proposal No. 2011-78 would finally make butter, peanut butter, jelly, and cream cheese a-okay ... maaaaybe by sometime next year.
If we could team up with the University of Utah in providing bagels to recruits, we would have the best football team in the country. BYU would have to settle for Einstein Bagels and would suffer. Better bagels = better recruits.

New York’s famed H&H bagel joint closes ... JPost - International

New York’s famed H&H bagel joint closes ... JPost - International
Curious passersby paused on Sunday morning outside the vacant store where the famed H&H Bagels once stood, peeking through the tainted windows of the former bakery that until just recently had attracted lovers of the ovalshaped bread from near and far.

“Whoa, I can’t believe it,” said Michael Blumenthal, a New Jersey native who hadn’t heard the news that the establishment had shuttered earlier in the week. “It’s an institution. I used to love coming to this place. I tried to bring my friend here today and it’s closed.”

Bagel News

Consider the Bagel - Guardian.co.uk
The deterioration of New York's bagels – and those of everywhere else, come to that – is an inevitable consequence of their modern popularity. Mechanisation, freezers and food scientists are the enemies of flavour and heritage. Eastern European émigrés, often Jewish, brought bagel-making to New York in the late 1800s. For most of the 20th century the heavily unionised bakers turned production of the bread into a cartel – the main advantage of which, by common consent, was that quality remained high. Proper bagels are difficult to do well.

What do cops think about National Doughnut Day? | montoya, doughnut, day - News - The Orange County Register

What do cops think about National Doughnut Day?

Where doughnuts were once a common staple at the Newport Beach Police briefing room, they are now relics. A less sugary, healthier snack is now available for the uniformed officers.

"It's bagels now," said Newport Beach Police Sgt. Chuck Freeman. "It's a generational thing."

California Highway Patrol officer Gabe Montoya said he was unaware of the holiday as he was eating his egg and chorizo breakfast burrito Friday morning.

"The last time I had a doughnut was around Christmastime," Montoya said, adding that he'll take a bagel over a doughnut any day.

"Nobody notices that there are a lot of cops at the bagel shops," Montoya added. "Nothing better than a bagel out of the oven."

Check out This Great Review On Yelp.com

Eve L.'s Review of Park City Bread and Bagel on Yelp:

This is the best bagel outside of Brooklyn! My husband - a Brooklyn native - has been searching for a great bagel since he moved out to the west and he's finally found it. Is it just as good as the East Coast? No. But close enough to make our mouths water and Brooklyn memories come to mind. Great selection too! Try the Everything bagel! Luckily, my hubby works in Park City, so it's easy to get, but for those of you in SLC the drive up Parleys may make this place seem not worth the trouble, but you are WRONG! Never look at Einsteins Bagels the same. . .
