After living in Los Angeles for a decade I realized it wasn't what was on your license plate that defined you, more that even having something there told the story. Conclusion? New Yorkers wouldn't be caught dead identifying themselves as *anything* on a license plate, Angelinos loved it.

Ed, about two years ago you wrote a great New Year's article about the great bagels in New York, and through it I discovered your 'bronze': Bagel Oasis, off the Long Island Expressway, in Queens, New York. What a great find.

My family's been devouring "Bagel O's" bagels ever since. If necessary, we take advantage of their excellent FedEx service (though they have a two or three dozen minimum!).

Thanks Ed. Your "everyday gourmet" approach makes life better, once again.

Fries were fresh and not bad. My son tried a shake, I'll get his review.

Mr. Rensing pretends to be a geek, when he's really a foodie!

Ed, This note is why I love your blog. Your love for food and the people who make it rings out clearly and loudly. Alison's non-vitrolic response shows she loves being part of the community too. Congratulations to both of you.
