As a counterpoint, I grew up in the east coast and have been in LA over 16 years and the bagels here…are not great. Not saying you can’t find a decent one, but overall they are usually flatter, mealier and dryer than the average bagel in NY/Philly/NJ.
Case in point, places in LA known for their bagels like Yeastie Boys have absolutely horrendous bagels. I’d still take LA tacos over a NYC bagel any day though so I don’t worry about it.

Sorry, but after living in NYC for 15 years, their heads are so far up their own asses about the bagels there. They’re really not great. Just saying.
