Nick's intro[]
Berkeley, California: this liberal NorCal college town, home of the University of California, was named for Irish philosopher, George Berkeley, though with the pronunciation altered to cater to the saner spelling of American English.
But the city of Berkeley's collective political philosophy has informed its identity as a center of American leftism. Though its protest culture was first visible via the pacifist movement in opposition to Japanese internment camps in World War II, the mid-sized town gained national attention as a hippie enclave in the 1960s, due to its vigorous and visible student protest movement in favor of civil rights and in opposition to the Vietnam War. Its activist streak has continued to this day, though it's become less potent as the Bay Area's onerous housing costs have increasingly pushed out the working class.
And its liberal culture has had other effects - notably a local law that, for a time, effectively banned chain stores, including restaurants, creating an opening for local boutiques and eateries.
And among those independent eateries was a Berkeley bagel shop founded in 1989 by an ex-pat from New York City. The bagelry thrived with locals and, in spiritual defiance of the law that helped birth it, would become a chain itself, seeming to expand to 38 stores in the time it took to toast an everything bagel. In 1995, it was bought by rival chain Einstein Bros. Bagels, though it continued to operate as its own brand alongside labelmates like Caribou Coffee and Bruegger's Bagels.
Today, with 54 locations up and down the Left Coast, this Berkeley-born bagel bakery with a Biblical name shows that, even with one of the most liberal zip codes in the country, the lure of self-enrichment promised by capitalism is difficult to resist.

| “ | I was calling because I just heard the segment on Chipotle's new carne asada which I have tried at a few restaurants and I have found that while I agree that some are dry, they are not all dry. It stays steamed on a griddle so I think that this, more than any of Chipotle's other items, is very reliant on what your cook is doing and who is cooking it. So I've had it some places and it was amazing; at other places, and it sucked. So I just wanted to report my findings at multiple restaurants for Chipotle's carne asada. I love you guys. | ” |
