Lawn Love curated a list of 158 of the biggest cities to find which were the best for bagels, but they might have forgotten where bagels "bread-sliced" came from.

The method went viral after a former St. Louis resident taught his co-workers on the west coast the interesting way to get your bagels sliced.

In May of 2019. Twitter user Alek Krautmann posted a photo along with the caption, "Today I introduced my coworkers to the St Louis secret of ordering bagels bread sliced. It was a hit!"

The tweet quickly went viral, gaining over 3,000 retweets and over 20,000 likes.
