点评:Living in the Low Country comes with its own set of challenges, with one of the most tragic being the lack of decent bagel options. Sure, you might stumble upon places claiming to serve "NY Style" bagels, but let's face it, they're either "Gourmet" (translation: COST MORE THAN AN ARM AND A LEG) or they taste like a cross between a generic supermarket bagel and a Girl Scout Baking merit badge attempt gone HORRIBLY WRONG.
As a proud Northerner who's migrated to these bagel-barren lands, my heart yearns for the glory days of International Bagels in Bradley Beach, NJ. Ah, the memories of indulging in hearty bagel breakfasts after a wild night of bar-hopping at the Jersey Shore with my ragtag group of rental house buddies.
Regrettably, the Holy City is full of souls who've never experienced the ecstasy of a "real" bagel (or, dare I say, a "real" donut). They live in blissful ignorance, unaware of the culinary wonders they've missed out on for all these years.
For those enlightened few who know that the key to bagel nirvana is a good boiling before the bake, rejoice! Ruby's has descended upon us like a bagel deity, and there's no need to venture elsewhere for your doughy fix. They are the genuine article, though not quite reaching the colossal proportions of an International Bagel (wouldn't fit in your standard toaster!).
And let's not forget the essential "schmear" – because a bagel without cream cheese is like a joke without a punchline. So, toast to Ruby's, the newfound savior of bagel enthusiasts in the Low Country!
翻译:生活在低地国家也面临着一系列挑战,其中最悲惨的是缺乏像样的百吉饼选择。当然,您可能会偶然发现一些声称提供“纽约风格”百吉饼的地方,但让我们面对现实吧,它们要么是“美食”(翻译:比手臂和腿还要贵),要么尝起来就像普通超市的混合体百吉饼和女童子军烘焙功绩徽章的尝试完全错误。
作为一个自豪地移居到这些百吉饼贫瘠土地的北方人,我内心向往新泽西州布拉德利海滩国际百吉饼的辉煌岁月。啊,和一群乌合之众的出租屋伙伴在泽西海岸酒吧狂欢一夜后,享用丰盛的百吉饼早餐的记忆。
遗憾的是,圣城里充满了从未体验过“真正的”百吉饼(或者,我敢说,“真正的”甜甜圈)的狂喜的灵魂。他们生活在幸福的无知中,没有意识到这些年来他们错过了烹饪奇迹。
对于那些知道百吉饼必杀技的关键是烘烤前充分煮沸的开明人士来说,庆幸吧! Ruby's 就像百吉饼神一样降临在我们身上,您无需冒险去其他地方享用美味的美食。它们是正品,尽管没有达到国际百吉饼的巨大比例(不适合您的标准烤面包机!)。
我们不要忘记必不可少的“schmear”——因为没有奶油奶酪的百吉饼就像一个没有笑点的笑话。所以,为 Ruby's 干杯,它是低地国家百吉饼爱好者的新救星!
