In my heart, I think I'm a New Yorker, but I'm not born and raised in LA. So that meant that I was deprived from like bagels for a really long time. Good bagels.

Yeah, for the longest time, my only exposure to bagels were like those frozen bagels.

Me too, it was all about the bagged bagels.

My mom was a huge fan of cinnamon raisin and we didn't have like our first proper

freshly baked bagel until I was like in high school and my mom came across this bagel store

and it was in this really industrial part of Van Nuys.

The main thing I remember about this place and why I'll never forget it

is that there was this story about how

this woman drove over her husband in front of the bagel shop and it

wasn't an accident because the main detail I remember from the story was that she

backed up and then drove over again then backed up then drove over again and that's the place

where we got bagels. Now every time we went there we would think about that story

and it feels fitting because after I did a little deep dive into bagels there's a lot of

crazy stuff in the history of bagels we're going to see a little bit of violence. Whoa, violence, murder, bagels?

Oh, ha ha ha.

Welcome to the deep dish the show where we do deep dives on dishes we love and then we eat them. I'm Sola and I'm ham. We're married and we're chefs. We nerd out on food together all day long.

And we love learning about the stories behind different dishes and ingredients.

Now we're going to do all that nerding out on this podcast.

In each episode of Deep Dish, we'll deep dive into the story behind a food.

Then we'll head home to our kitchen and see what we feel inspired to cook up.

Today's story, bagel bosses and death threats.

Han, what's your favorite bagel order?
