Did you know Champagne can only come from Champagne, France? Or that Bourbon can only come from Kentucky? Go ahead and google it, it's true.  

This is because certain geographical elements as well as generations of artisanal techniques are essential to maintaining the integrity of these world renowned delicacies.

Bagels should only come from NYC. Period point blank.
