What coast has no tourist structure?
I wanna go there!
That’s a typical price in the pacific northwest for a bona fide bakery. $5 is pricey but it has ham and cheese inside. A plain croissant might be on the order of $3-4 per.
Have you been to the small towns surrounding Ocean Shores on the WA pacific coast? We spent a weekend at Pacific Beach last month. There were about 4 tiny run down establishments to serve tourists within a 3 mile radius.

That’s why we always turn inland at Astoria 
The ultimate breakfast sandwich for me is a bagel ( never toasted) smoked salmon ( Lox in NYC) and cream cheese.
If I’m feeling fancy a good slice of Bermuda Onion & a slice of tomato, never lettuce.

Never toasted. I am partial to a sesame seed bagel and capers with the lox, cream cheese, tomato and onion (but prefer red). Also in the no lettuce camp…

I’ve never heard of having lettuce on a bagel with lox - sacrilege!
I was once present at a local House of Bagels when someone ordered a bagel with lox and alfalfa sprouts. The look the counter guy gave him was the epitome of “if looks could kill” - hilarious. Needless to say, there were no sprouts on that sandwich.

Same, minus the tomato - the texture blends with the lox too much.

I love Nova and a shmear on a sesame or poppyseed bagel, but I also love the Chub Chub.
This is from a spot in TO, realize Russ & Daughters Café and other places have similar blinged out bagelwiches.

I agree - has to be just the right tomato. Also has to be the right bagel.

Is Dempster a Canadian brand?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a recipe for something most of us learned to make at 5 or so.
Pretty funny

Yep, Dempster’s is a Canadian brand. It’s in most grocery stores, pre-sliced, about 10 different whole grain varieties. Maybe $3.50 Cdn/ loaf.
I don’t even know any bread brands in the States, other than Wonderbread and King’s Hawaiian!

Bread is fairly regional in the US.
There are national brands liscened to regional bakeries but I don’t think any are shipped cross country.
I could be wrong but I think that’s a pretty good summation of the supply line.
I see a new thread

Dempster’s is probably mostly an Ontario brand. I haven’t checked the bread aisle in other provinces recently. I can’t remember what bread I bought when I lived in Alberta.
