We haven't received them yet, but if you are a fan of Montreal bagels you can buy from either St Viator or Fairmont (I can't remember which). Montreal natives will tell you that there are no other bagel bakeries worth considering.
ETA: I still have no idea what two people are going to do with four dozen bagels. Or where will you find room in either of our freezers.

I just sent my sister a dozen bags of Better Made potato chips. Cheaper than sending fewer bags because the shipping price dropped to $10 fixed rate for orders over $50.

Never saw this before - interesting idea. But visiting the establishment is half the fun. Primanti's from a box is like Primanti's at one of the recent chains vs. at the original at 2am. Just not the same. (And they don't even sell their best sandwiches)
Speaking of Montreal - I can't find the poutine. (No, "creative twists" on poutine from a Los Angeles food truck does not count. At all.)

There was a poutine place in Pasadena that lasted maybe 2 years, and there are enough that I can look up a top 10 list, but only maybe 3 look authentic.

Neighborhood faves that are on Goldbelly include Veselka and Tompkins Square Bagels. I see Zahav in Philadelphia, which is normally almost impossible to get a reservation for, also has some meals available that could be a fun splurge.

they’re thin bagels, yes? They don’t look huge. Essa bagels are huge!
i’m still tempted about the Montreal bagels. I once asked you (and received!) for guidance because goodbelly sells 2 or even 3 different Montreal brands. I have had to hold back simply due to the freezer issue!

Having been to Franklin, I thought it was kinda meh. But I don't eat red meat; their chicken and turkey options were fine, but not as good as what I've had in KC.
iOne thing about special food places is that I look forward to visiting those places when I travel. Old Forge pizza is good in Old Forge; if I'm here, there's decent local pizza that work. Round Rock Donuts are good, but I certainly wouldn't order them from afar.

Wegman's sells an Old Forge style pizza shell (up in that area, not here in DC area, it is either Agostini or Lucci's brand?) I have brought and made at home. It is a good base for a light thick crust but not tried the cheese topping (fontina blend - some say with American cheese!)

Ugh I can’t find the goldbelly promo with my delta gold Amex offers. Or my other Amex (not gold?) - I only have the free Amex and not the expensive Amex. Granted delta is $99 but first year free.

When I googled it, it listed the promo for an Amex Platinum card. I have a few Amex’s (Hilton and Delta), and haven’t seen Goldbelly in the current offers.

Not the best bagels in the world. No one who's lived in/near NYC would say that about Montreal bagels.
