I don't know about Peet's, but I read somewhere that Starbucks brewed coffee - the "regular" stuff, not espresso -- has on average approximately 400 mg. per cup, compared to a more typical caffeine content of 150 mg. per cup.

why are you such a fucking bitch?
 

According to Starbucks public relations specialist Jenny Walsh, many seasonal items, such as Cranberry Bliss Bars, are made in Pennsylvania and shipped, frozen, nationwide.

Moreover, several pound cakes and the reduced-fat coffee cakes that are currently available are also shipped nationwide, frozen, by the San Antonio bakery.

In San Diego, the fresh Starbucks pastries are made by Solana Baking Company in Solana Beach.

However, she went on to say, in every region, a local bakery is contracted to produce baked goods using Starbucks' recipes.

People who want a real bagel wouldn't buy it at Starbucks. It's like frozen burritos may be good but they're not mexican food.

Not on my way to work. God forbid I have to walk a block out of my way.

Yum. I wish I could get a Montreal-style bagel in New York. They are not an everyday thing, but a special treat thing. Much like Montreal itself. in the summer.

eta - I am marking up a summer's memo and I just corrected "irregardless" to "regardless." hmmm

Is this your version of "being nice?"

Start again at kindergarten, Hank -- that was my point. Then Coltrane jumped in with "yeah, and they won't even toast it." His post suggested a belief that willingness to toast a bagel is a reflection on the establishment's worthiness to sell bagels. If you gotta toast it to make it taste good, you shouldn't be selling that shit in the first place.

Upon reflection, I realize that Coltrane might have meant "since they taste like shit, the least they could do is toast them for you to distract you from the staleness," but I was so worked up about people thinking the proper method of serving a bagel is to toast it that I couldn't see all the possible nuances in his post.

This is my peeve: my local bagel joint, which is actually quite good, toasts bagels by default. You have to request it untoasted. This is simply wrong.

I am not reading this list but did "looking good, lewis" "feeling good, Todd" make it? Because that should be el numero uno.

Or "Bratwurst and shelailies (sp?) Paging Dr. Freud!"

and "you pretentious beret wearing motherfucker" should be up there.

and of course just about anything from Lebowki though I would pick "3000 years of beautiful tradition from Moses to Sandy Koufax. You're goddam right I am living in the past". I think.

A. What is a Montreal-style bagel?

B. Kick the summer in the head.

I'm not going to get into an argument with you about what I do or don't think of myself. Talk about stupid discussions.

Bagels can be toasted, but only the next day. Bagels can be onion salt garlic or plain. Fruit should not be found in your bagel.

I don't know if the above applies to Montreal bagels, but one of the best North american Jewish writers is from Montreal and something must inspire him. and Richter doesn't seem like the kind of drip who'd eat a cinnimon raisin or blueberry.
