I'm not the expert on chicken burgers, but I would assume they use a ground chicken patty? To me that's what makes something a burger instead of another type of sandwich.

Also scooped bagels are not new, sad to say. They bring it up in The Office and I've seen such atrocities much earlier than that as well.

No. It's just a regular fried chicken sandwich like you get at Popeye's or whatever.

I think a full restaurant can find plenty of things to do with bread scraps if they're generating a lot of them from some other weird recipe they have, much like how things like french toast can be a use for bread that has gone stale. Bread pudding, croutons, or stuffing come to mind as options. A bagel shop, not so much. And you come to the bagel capital of America and tell them to scrape the bagel out of the bagel so you get less bagel? Get outta here.

The best thing to do with the scooped out innards is to mix them with butter and then put them back in the bread.

I remember when all the discourse was saying this was some west coast nonsense but the only bagel place I've ever seen offer scooped bagels was a (very touristy) spot right next to Central Park.

Scooping out bread, like a baguette or ciabatta to fit some extra fillings seems like a pretty standard thing that's been done over here in europe forever. What makes those boiled bread circles so sacro(is)sant? I mean if you want them scoped out for some health reason that is very silly, but otherwise I don't really see the issue.

As for chicken burger vs sandwisch, if the chicken is served in a burger bun it's a burger and if it's served in some other type of bread it's a sandwich. Really folks, it's not rocket science.

Correct way to eat a classic NYC bagel:

1. Throw it in the garbage
2. Find a Montréal-style bagel place
3. Eat the bagel

bagels aren't particularly large, maybe they just want to make room for more cream cheese or avocado?

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
I really don't understand this idea. Apparently it's so that you can put more cream cheese in it? But cream cheese is a solid. You can already put as much fuckin cream cheese as you drat well please in between the two halves of the bagel. It's not like a bread bowl where the scooping is required to hold liquid soup.

It seems like wasting food for no goddamn reason. But I guess "wasting food for no goddamn reason" ought not be surprising to me in this thread.

I'll have you know Europeans of the thread have already declared they are experts at wasting food, so perhaps it is the non-scoopers who are the problem

It's only the Final Battle once all the players are ready.

Also, half the appeal of getting a bagel over other bread is the dense, chewy internal texture. Seems weird to remove it, especially for cream cheese since I have seen unscooped bagels with like an inch of cream cheese between the halves so it's not exactly necessary.

"Hi, can you throw away like half of this" when I was a barista wouldn't have even registered as weird to me, but they would've had to explain it because I've never heard of a scooped bagel until tiktok went off on that dude.

At least it's not the guy who asked for a huge scoop of pimento cheese & jelly on his hot link sausage biscuits when I worked at Bojangles. That guy haunts me still.

What I don't get is ... it's a bagel. Just keep the halves separate and pile on as much cream cheese or whatever as you want! You don't have to put it back together and eat it whole!

Just saw an episode of Seinfeld where Frank Costanza scoops his bagel, and I thought of this thread. It wasn’t called out as a joke, just something Jerry Stiller decided to do during the scene I guess. So it’s been a thing for at least 30 years.

It's not to create more space for the filing. Scooping the bagel is the only way to eat a bagel without consuming the evil carbs. There's no other way. It's definitely not possible to simply not order bread in the first place if you refuse to eat carbs, no siree

Scooped bagel maximizes the amount of bagel skin per calorie. It's just math and science.

Oddly enough, I was with a friend last weekend who's been doing keto for a couple years. We had breakfast sandwiches, on some keto bagels he had - and those bagels were shockingly good. I wouldn't have known they were keto if he hadn't told me, and they still would have ranked among the best bagels I've had.

Not my bit of Europe bucko wtf?

Also bagels, scooped or no, are absolutely not worth the amount of fuss they get and they’re an absolutely dogshit form factor for sandwiches.

I keep getting spam asking if I miss authentic NYC bagels, and all it does is make me research where I can find authentic Montreal bagels near me. (In the frozen section of a grocery store bakery about an hour away! :toot:)

erberts and gerbert's, a small sandwich chain in the Midwest, would scoop out the middle of the bread before making the sandwich and serve it to you with the sandwich
