Another Breakfast at Bruegger's Bagels

Here's another breakfast at Bruegger's Bagels. I got a sesame bagel with hummus, tomato, and onion. Was this good? Oh, yeah! This was a great way to start the day. It had carbs, protein, and fat. The onion probably helped keep coworkers away. I ordered this open-faced style to avoid cross-contamination. I'll explain below.


I discovered Bruegger's often uses a clean bread knife to make the first cut on the bagels. Then they put the toppings on, put the halves back together, wrap it all in wax paper, and cut it in half again with another knife at the end of the line. That last knife is used to make the final cut on everything that goes through the line, similar to the way Subway does it. You know what that means? That last knife is covered in cream cheese, egg, and bacon residue. Nasty! I order it open-faced to avoid that last knife. This open-faced style is easier to eat, anyway. I don't like my food diced up and covered in paper. It's possible that the crew will use just one knife for everything, so it's a gamble. Also, they often have greasy gloves from handling the bacon and eggs. The food is great,  but vegans need to order with caution.
