Bagels are the unsung hero of the breakfast table. This round, dough, crusty treat is sometimes taken for granted by hungry brunchers. It’s just assumed that if it’s time for breakfast, there will always be bagels there.
The only thing better than a bagel is a bagel sandwich. There’s no doubt that the bagel sandwich is by far the best breakfast sandwich base. It’s far superior to biscuits and English muffins. Plus, pizza bagels are potentially the greatest food mashup ever conceived. All in all, the bagel is awesome. That’s why we celebrate it’s round, tasty existence on February 9th.
All you need to do is take one look at Twitter to understand how amped people are for National Bagel Day:
good morning the world is spiraling downhill but that doesn't mean you can't still eat a bagel!!! #nationalbagelday
