St. Louis Vertically Slices Its Bagels Like Bread | Eater
"A ubiquitous local chain often branded as St. Louis Bread Company or affectionately called Bread Co.; its bagels are sometimes sliced vertically like a loaf, a practice defended as practical because it maximizes surface area for spreads (notably honey walnut cream cheese) and makes one-handed, in-car eating easy — you can snack from the bag like chips or fries and even dip pieces while driving." - Brenna Houck
