The Big Bialy Brouhaha

This has gone too far.

When a spike in flour prices can seriously impact Saturday morning breakfast at my local diner, there is a problem.

When the long-standing "substitution cost" for subbing out toast for a bialy aside my eggs skyrockets from 75 cents to $1.60, there is undeniably something very, very wrong.

I think it's time the government got involved. If the Fed can go and cut interest rates, they can do something about this new bialy pricing blow-up!

And, for the record, I understand that the bagels have seen a similar price increase.

Harumph!
