July 2007 = Onion Bagels disappear from south Louisiana. March 2014 = Onion Bagels disappear from central Virginia. **It’s the Zombie Onion Bagel Apocalypse!!!** ---

After my post 7 years ago my Noah’s no longer had onion bagels. The manager told me corporate had decided to stop them. I wrote an emphatic email, they got restored, and the manager gave me a free dozen to thank me. I still don’t know why anyone would be so stupid as to kill onion bagels. I used to get excellent frozen bialys at our Safeway - but they vanished too. No surprise since I’m probably one of the few around here who had ever seen one before. ---

I’ve never been so thankful to have NY Bagel and Bialy ten minutes from my house. Open 24 hrs and they have the best onion bialys as well as bagels. ---

There are always plenty at the local pig, and at the Food Clown on the south side of town. ---

YOU CANNOT PURCHASE A REAL BAGEL UNLESS YOU LIVE IN BROOKLYN OR MANHATTAN AND SHOW A VALID I.D. WITH ADDRESS AT YOUR LOCAL BAGEL/BIALY-ONLY SHOP. Even Queens and the Bronx are suspect, and Staten Island may as well be Peoria. There. That should do it. ---

CA is still safe; I had onion bagels for breakfast yesterday…except that they were those big puffy things that I’m sure no self-respecting New Yorker would call a bagel at all. ---

I do know EBay has them lol hopefully we can find them I’ve had to switch over to Thomas everything bagels until I can find there onion bagels again ☹ I’ve got a few spare punctuation marks if you need any. Meanwhile, my Randall’s (Texas) has fairly decent fresh-made bagels, but they don’t seem to do onion either. Weird. ---

I agree about the Lenders. I get onion bagels in the bakery section on the grocery store I go to when they aren’t sold out. They are very good, but not the best. ---

I have no problem finding onion bagels. Garlic one, on the other hand. . … I feel I may have said this in the past. ---

No disrespect intended toward the gentlemanly borough to my north. I just wanted to do the “dickhead-New-Yorker-in-the-bagel-thread” post before anyone else got a chance. SCORE!
