"Hey, let's drive a half hour to get some bagels!"
Normally, these words would have sounded ridiciculous but not so when traveling from Arlington to Natick for some bagels at Eagerman's Bakery on Route 9. This full service bakery made the very best, plus it was always a benefit to add to the order with some delicious turnovers or danishes.
Owner Eagerman's first named was Moe. That sat well with me as he had the name of on of the Three Stooges. The difference was, however, that Moe at Eagerman's was one savvy, visionary businessman who had the smarts to never hire a Curley, Larry or Shemp. All employees never beat on each other, worked at the highest level and seemed to be part of the community.
I don't exactly recall when Eagerman's closed but what I can tell you is that few places, locally, have produced such yummy bagels, to this very day!
It was certainly worth the half hour drive.
