closed starter for @len-covello location: goldilox & the 3 bagels
An everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and lox; or a pumpernickel bagel served with pastrami, eggs and Swiss cheese. Those were Brandon’s go-to items when it came to bagels, but given the Irish holiday that was being celebrated around them, he couldn’t help but notice that green bagels seemed to be a hit among the customers. In Boston, everyone celebrated St. Patrick’s Day regardless of their heritage or connection to the Irish community, so this was definitely a dialed down version from what he was used to. Regardless, he couldn’t bring himself to really be comfortable with the idea of eating a green bagel.
As the server announced that there was only one of them left, Brandon turned to the woman beside him. “Please, you can have it. I was actually... thinking of being a killjoy and forgetting this holiday exists, in all honesty. So if you wanted a green bagel, don’t let me stop you.”
