Sounds like this calls for a Saturday Morning post-walk debriefing....

Yup. I'll add it to the "proposed" list.

Come on down, on a field trip, to a Brueger's near my home!! We can
do it after one of my Saturday morning group walks... :-)

I checked out the new Brueger's in Ann Arbor today and sampled the
bagels. Not bad, but Barry's is still my favorite.

I did the same, and I like Brueger's better than the others.

Interesting. I tried Brurgger's too, and I'm Not Impressed at all.
They don't have flavor. The onion and garlic bagles had onion and
garlic on the *outside* of the bagel! Horrors! In the case of the
garlic, it broke down into only the allin enzyme, which isn't nearly
as flavorful as the alasyn (sp?) enzyme. The onion on the outside
was just burned. On the inside they were the same bagel. Eechh.
The sesame bagle was better, but only by a little.

I love Brueger's. There is one by my parents' house and every time I go home I
have to get a bagle from there.

I just had a blueberry bagel from Barry's Bagels yesterday. It was
excellant!

Well I don't normally eat onion or garlic bagels, but I had a plain bagel.
Now in my opinion plain unadulterated bagels are the ultimate test.
The Bruegger's bagel had more taste than any other in Ann Arbor.
I really think thay have a more traditional bagel than the stores we're
used to. It reminded me of the bagels I used to eat as a kid.
Bagel's are clearly a matter of taste, so I'm not shocked to find a great deal
of dissension here, but I'm real glad there's another choice in town.
Bruegger's is a chain, but this is not always a bad thing.
This bagel item has been so Ann Arbor oriented, it's nice to get
a viewpoint from elsewhere. Lefty, what town is that Bruegger's in?

I think most of the bagel places discussed here (the AA ones, anyway) are
chains. Small, fairly localized ones, admittedly.

Bruegger's is a more national chain, but I have no idea what parts of
the nation they cover. I didn't know that Barry's and Bagel factory
were chains. How many stores do they have?

Last I noticed (quite a while back), I think Barry's listed 3 or 4.
My memories on Bagel Factory are too vague to be reliable, but I *thought*
they had at least one other location somewhere.

Ja, I don't think Bagel Factory has a lot more than one other
location, if that.

Barry Bagel's is in Grand Rapids, Bowling Green, Ann Arbor and Toledo.
Bagel Factory has several outlets through michigan (five or six, as
I recall).

For what it's worth, there was a Bruegger's or two in Iowa City, IA.

Apparently, there is a "new" bagel store on Washtenaw, somewhere between
A2 and Ypsi.

Indeed there is. It's in the strip mall that houses Builders Square,
across from the Toyota dealership. I noticed it driving home from work
the other night, but it was closed.

Tonight's Ann Arbor News has a story on the booming business in bagels.
It talks about the new Great Bagel! store on Washtenaw, the new Bruegger's
Bagels, the recent contest to be the Zingerman bagel supplier. A spokes-
man for the Bruegger chain is quoted as saying "Bagels have become a
very hot category."
Today's health consciousness is often cited as a reason for the bagel
bonanza. Bagels are low in fat (1 or 2 grams in a plain bagel) and are
boiled and baked rather than fried.

Hmm, that's very confusing. I thought Bruegger's was on Ann Arbor Saline Road,
and I thought Brother's Bagels won the Zingerman's contest.

Yeah--I thought the Zingerman's winner was from Toledo?

Hmm, my grammar, though unambiguous, appears to have confused. Perhaps
I should have said "the new Bruegger's Bagels, *AND* the recent contest
to be the Zingerman bagel supplier." Omitting the "and" made it sound
like there was a connection between the two, I guess.

Has anybody made it to "Great Bagel!" A comparison would be interesting.

It's in Fountain Plaza or whatever that strip mall is called that
has Builders Square in it. Right across from the Toyota dealership.
