Bagels From Chains Like Panera and Einstein's Won't Win Awards. They're Still Worth Loving | Bon Appétit
"This ubiquitous chain is celebrated as the archetype of the lo-fi bagel: mass-produced, often warmed quickly in rotary toasters, handed through drive-thrus or found at hotels, airports, and conference rooms. Its appeal lies less in artisanal quality and more in convenience, nostalgia, and reliability — a grab-and-go comfort that many people fondly associate with routine and travel, with some fans calling it a constant in their lives." - ByAntara Sinha
