I don’t know RUTH. I took the bait and went to Courage Bagels, waited in line for 10 minutes and bought a bakers dozen of every flavor so I could share and sample them with family and friends. They were all really over the top with an amazing texture and flavor. I’m gonna try your suggestion of Wise Bros in Culver City but I’m still quite impressed with my first sampling. Doesn’t really fit in my diet but it sure is a great way to cut thru the Covid doldrums

Of course, Manhattan Bagel in our own hood is just classic and I’ve known and worked owners Michael & Lynn Keegan for decades since they opened their doors. I know how ‘religious’ he is about doing bagels right, and besides, you have to when you are located across the street from the only synagogue in Manhatttan Beach. His Challah offerings on Fridays and holidays are excellent, but could use a drop more egg, IMHO.
