I concur, it is a travesty!

Born & raised in the Bronx, if I ever........

.......there would be a 2nd run to the bagel shop, for sure.

Love how ‘St. Louis Style” is trending.

Translation = How to do something oh so wrong.

we have places that do this here also but in a different direction (the direction that you would "normally" slice a bagel).......love it actually and so great when you want to make your own bagel chips.....or if you just want to cut back on the amount of bread you are eating.

i also highly recommend owning a bagel guillotine.

It must be a really well-kept secret as I'm from STL and have never seen anyone do this. In fact, we had bagels delivered to the office yesterday and they were all intact lol!

@Caaareful Shopper I love it...for those who just want a little bite or if you wanted to try a different flavor. I think I like that slice and wonder why I never thought of it.

I'm from NYC, I would never slice my bagel like that! I would think you would use more butter, cream cheese, etc this way.

THAT is one of the advantages! think of all of the different spreads and toppings you could have when they are sliced differently.

Some of the worst food I've ever eaten was from St. Louis. LOL

Those Panera things aren't even bagels. So they might as well slice them like they're not.

I actually kind of like the idea. I could have a couple of small slices and just have a taste, rather than eating the entire thing.

Doesn’t matter to me. I don’t like bagels. LOL.

I see your point @dex . But I feel the true bagel lover wants that crisp outer crust combined with that light inner portion that's chewy but not doughy. The bottom is usually darker than the upper side, that's why if you use the bagel guillotine to slice them, you can get a totally different, yet equally satisfying taste sensation.

Slicing them up like that, you might as well have any roll, ciabatta, brioche, or any type of yeast bread -- not a bagel.

You haven't eaten at the right places then. STL isn't really known for bagels (and I would never recommend any chain for any type of food).

We ate at some very good places. I just didn't care for the food.

The pizza was horrendous. They use some creamy type of cheese that was awful.

I'm pretty sure St. Louis isn't known for it's bagels or it's pizza

According to a friend who lived there they do great barbeque, though.
