“I’m the type to spend as little time in my hotel as possible. It’s where I brush my teeth and sleep. And sometimes—if there’s a phenomenal lobby bar—where I have a drink. But during a stay at Raleigh, North Carolina’s Guest House, a historic home that was recently transformed into an eight-room inn, I found myself spending a suspicious amount of time on the property.”

“On the wall, a school of mullet swims toward the Carolina coast, the silhouette of barrier islands and the undulating line of mainland stark against the aqua sea. Where I’m standing would be just beyond the western edge of the map, at the newly-opened Locals Oyster Bar in Raleigh’s Transfer Co. Food Hall, which has slowly been rolling out new vendors. And I’m ready for seafood.”

Benchwarmers Bagels is pushing back against the bagel world’s geography bias. For what seems like forever, a myth has been boiled and baked into a kind of accepted truth. If the bagel you’re eating didn’t come from the New York boroughs or Montreal, what’s even the point? It may look like a bagel, taste like a bagel, lodge poppyseeds between your teeth like a bagel, but if hailing from all the elsewheres in-between, it’s treated as something less than the real thing.

The cart experienced 20 percent to 30 percent growth every year after that until last year, when sales were mostly flat.
