Today's Los Angeles Times reports on Los Angeles BAGELS:
"Most people choose the bagel they grew up with," says Richard Friedman, and for most Southern Californians, whether they know it or not, that means the choice is bagels made either by Friedman or his oldest competitor.
Though there is a wealth of Jewish delis in Southern California, most of the best-known buy their bagels from either Friedman's 55-year-old Brooklyn Bagel Bakery or Steve Ustin's 61-year-old Western Bagel. If you eat at Nate 'n Al, Langer's, Art's or Factor's delis, you prefer Brooklyn's bagels. If you prefer Brent's or Mort's, you're a Western Bagel person.
Certainly there are other bagel bakeries in the area, including the Bagel Broker in the Fairfax District and the kosher Bagel Factory outlets on the Westside and in Torrance. And there are a few delis that bake their own, including Junior's and Canter's.CLICK HERE FOR The bagel: an L.A. story - Los Angeles Times
