Nuke It

Once in a while, I enjoy a good breakfast sangwich. If I had the time I might make myself a lil old egg mcmuffin at home, but alas I don't. I usually don't like getting breakfast items at any fast food place: McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts. Although I might like some of their other items, I like real eggs on my bread - cooked in front of me. No synthetic for me thanks.

When I was in college the best place ever to get these types of treats was at Bagels on the Hudson. They had a science to their bagel making and I loved ordering my "Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on an everything bagel" or "Taylor Ham, Egg, and Cheese on an everything bagel". YUM.


Recently, while I was slowing getting to work, I decided that yes! I wanted a sangwich today. So I headed over to Noah's Bagels in the next town. They made their bagels fresh, I am sure they will make my eggs the same way.
After putting in my order, I noticed how the evil man behind the counter takes a cup filled with what I am assuming was a real egg and proceeds to PUT IT IN THE MICROWAVE. Huh? What happened to the grill? Where is my freshly made egg delight? He nuked it!

When did it become that you go to an authentic bagel store and then are given a synthetic egg concoction? Where is my quality? What in God's name is this world turning into??
