" CALL YOUR MOTHER -- A GOOD-ISH DELI "
You know when you show up to dinner and your Tinder date looks nothing like their profile picture? Well, this is the bagel version of that.
Generally speaking, CMY’s fun sandwich combos make up for their staunchly mediocre bagels. Unfortunately, the size and composition of said sandwiches is really inconsistent and has gone steadily downhill since they opened.
I was in the mood for some jazzy breakfast sandwiches today, so I ordered some CMY bagels... what a fool I was.
Of notable disappointment was the Edgewater sandwich. I had vague memories of my sister ordering this years ago, when I was struck with bagel envy because it looked so good - vibrant and abundant, just like the photos. IMAGINE my disappointment today when I opened up my Ozempic-thin sandwich on a burnt bagel.
To add insult to injury - I don't understand the economics of skimping on carrots and cucumbers, the cheapest ingredients imaginable, on a $9 bagel.
I ate it, of course, each mouthful brimming with the bitter taste of regret instead of yummy vegetables.
(Luckily, the pastrami, egg, and cheese was pretty good and eased my pain.)
I cannot believe I was catfished by a bagel. Comedy and tragedy, all in one.
In summary - if there's something on CMY's menu you can't get anywhere else (pastrami, latkes, babka), come here. For everything else, I'll see you at Bethesda Bagels, with a thicc smoked salmon bagel in my hands.
