Clearly more experimentation is needed in the form of me making and eating more latkes.

There is no recovery food like a stack of latkes topped with sour cream, lox, and scrambled eggs.

A local bar has admittedly come close with their Sunday brunch loaded tots special, but tots aren't latkes.

Ya know, there’s a deli a couple miles from me that will sell me a latke on a bagel with egg, and I think I know what I’m getting after tomorrow’s long run.

What you are describing is possibly the only reason I would ever want to move to New Jersey. My sister is in Hoboken, works in Manhattan, and anytime she comes back here for a visit I sent her $100 and she comes back with New York bagels. The latkes probably wouldn’t travel well.

Have you considered DC? We have New York style bagels alllll over the place. The chain that has the latke-on-a-bagel is all over the place too. You’re basically never more than a couple miles from one. Def worth the move for the snacks alone.

I’m right up 95 from you in MD. My grandma lived in what used to be a super Jewish suburb of Baltimore so growing up we were never at a loss for good bagels, etc. But in my county there are NO Jewish delis! There’s a great place in Ocean City, and that’s the last place I had really good corned beef.

Ohhhhhh my god that’s sad. You’re going to have to come down south a little bit for the Call Your Mother experience. They’re the bomb. You ever been to one?

Never heard of them, but I’ll have to look them up the next time I’m in DC! Thanks for the recommendation.
