@follard For the record, I grew up on NY Bagel Shop in Houston (z''l Jay Kornhaber), so that's my baseline. None of the Austin bagels even come close, and this list is less a ranking and more of a cry for help.

[Marc Nathan @marc1919]

@follard Austin's food scene is getting much better all around, but Houston is legitimately world-class.

Bagels anywhere but NYC will always be sub-par, but these are my current rankings for ATX:

1) Wholy Bagel
2) Nervous Charlies
3) Rosen's
4) David Doughies
5) Rockstar

@theisaacmed Lots of Austin friends have chimed in already, but the bottom line is that if you want a large, central US city where ambitious builders can thrive in a place that promotes business and glorifies friendliness, it's really hard to beat Austin right now (and for the next decade)

@Jason_A_Scharf @anothercohen @Will_Gyde Great episode and I especially liked the SXSW discussion towards the end.

@andruyeung 'Double Opt-In' is the ONLY way to go - give the receiver a chance to decline, otherwise everyone looks bad if they can't or won't close the loop https://t.co/aLvJQmPoTs
