Literally my number one complaint about living in Las Vegas, worse than the heat or the moprons who live here or anything else is that it's almost impossible to find good bread/rolls, etc. Basically any bread-like substance here sucks somehow, even in the bakeries. Nothing like the east coast or the midwest.

It is astounding to me when I visit my sister and her family in DC that the only bagels they have are disgusting.
Put it this way, grocery store bagels are to good bagels what Bud Light is to a fine craft beer.

Yeah, this is still upsetting me. If you like bread and claim bagels can't be great, you've just only had shitty bagels.
In my defense, on the rare occasions I've been coaxed into trying a bagel, I've been assured they were "the best in town." Maybe I just need to move... ;-)

This is a big issue. Bagels, as much or more than anything, seem to suffer from an unusually high "my favorite" equals "best" problem.

Yeah, I was wondering, unless they are stale or something, how bad can a "bad bagel" be? At worst, it's round bread.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Altitude and humidity fuck up baking.

It's not quite your standard bread, though, is it? It's oddly dense, and any I've tried have a flavor I don't quite care for.
Then again, my taste in bread runs to a basic loaf of plain white, so perhaps I am not the best to judge.

Pumpernickel bagel with sesame seeds sounds fucking incredible but I doubt you can get that anywhere west of the Appalachians.
Doubtful. Never heard the term "black Russian," but those babies are all over the place in my hood.
A classic that some bagel places here sell is a rye bagel. A bit sour, caraway seeds... fantastic.

Early donors to the Nazi Party, employers of slaves etc., etc.
Want to boycott?
In addition to those "bagels," they own pieces of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Panera Bread, Pret a Manger, Stumptown Peet’s Coffee, Keurig Green Mountain and Dr Pepper-Snapple.
And they are worth $40 billion or so.

Can I just be a bagel polygamist and say I like them all? As to the schmear (still can't believe I've only known about that word in the last few years) I'm just not into anything vegetable and cream cheese related though I'll still eat it. All the others seem really good.

Anti-salt bagel, just so we can "hear both sides", but I also take 90% of the salt off a pretzel so I'm not the best judge here.
