@ehBeth,

Those home fries look to die for, ummmmmm!

@firefly,

long before Cagney and Lacey, Al was the star of King of Kensington

Kensington Market is a Toronto neighbourhood sort of like the one featured in Crossing Delancey.

The Bagel Stop was a real-life deli just north of the market where Al and his pals would often go for breakfast on Saturdays when he was in town. It was always great to see the guys gathering there to tell their stories.

When I saw Broadway Danny Rose, the Carnegie Deli Scenes (check at around 2:00) always reminded me of the Bagel Stop

@ehBeth,

The reference to an AL WAXMAN is lost on me. Was he a sammichophile?

Oh no, that sounds so much like sexual harassment - but I still can't quite figure it out. Well, just sitting here and remaining confused......

He was an actor who was from Toronto.

He was part of the cast of the Cagney & Lacey drama series.

@ehBeth,

I'll take a bagel. Where's the cream cheese? And a little lox would be nice...and some sliced tomatoes and red onion...and a few Greek olives.

I'm hungrier than I thought. Smile

@firefly,

thanks, many people blame me for not introducing folks and while I know that a wikepedia is a click away, Id never know the context of the reference in this discussion.
Im gruntled

@farmerman,

I knew who Waxman was, but that still doesn't explain why they named a sammich after him. I echo farmer's question: Was he known as a sammichophile?

@Lustig Andrei,

The Bagel Stop named the salami/onion omelette on a bagel after him since that's what he usually ordered.
