NYC bagel shop praised for denying West Coaster’s ‘scooped’ gluten-free bagel request

Lox him up and throw away the key.

A Big Apple bagelry is being praised for refusing a TikToker from Los Angeles his troublesome alterations to the locally beloved breakfast.

The trouble began when the unnamed shop allegedly would not fulfill fashion exec Taylor Offer’s request for a “scooped, gluten-free” bagel.

“There’s nothing more stressful than ordering a bagel in New York City,” Offer, CEO of athleisure brand Feat Clothing, complained in a TikTok, which got 3.9 million views in one day.

Scooping is a popular maneuver for those looking to cut back on their gluten intake, or to allow for more filling. It joins the ranks of gimmicky, often social media-driven special requests that have been driving local restaurateurs berserk.

“The guy just looks at me and goes, ‘I’m not scooping your f–king bagel, bro,’” the obstreperous out-of-towner claimed.

Los Angeles TikToker Taylor Offer fought back in a now-viral video after a Big Apple bagelry refused his special request.

Offer — who also mockingly ranted about giving an NYC homeless person his used pizza crust in another video, and criticized the way New Yorkers walk in a third clip — says he fought back, saying, “Dude, that’s how I want it.”

“[The worker] was like, ‘Get the f–k out of here with that s–t,’” the agitated Angeleno claimed.

The Post has reached out to Offer, who apparently later got a scooped bagel at another unnamed location, for comment.

The gluten-hating go-getter’s grumblings brought out New York’s bagel defenders, who quickly toasted Offer and his order.

“The deli guy was correct,” one person commented.

Offer told his followers that he was finally able to get what he wanted at another location.

“Scooped bagel is a crime I am sorry,” wrote another.

“I imagine a scooped bagel is like ordering a muffin and only eating the wrapper,” chimed in a third.

“‘I’m from Los Angeles” told me everything I needed to know,” commented a fellow user.

Offer’s other tirades in the Big Apple have TikTokers asking “When is your flight home?”

“I get more angry the more I watch these videos,” another wrote on Offer’s clip about the homeless person.

“NYC is chewing you up and spitting you out. Like a scooped bagel,” added one more.

New York’s classic bagel culture has taken a bruising of late, aided in part by a 2021 article in the New York Times by a clueless West Coast-living reporter, proclaiming California home of the country’s best bagels.

The Big Apple’s bagel lovers have shown signs of restlessness with the status quo — one Long Island deli created a stir with their Doritos-flavored bagel.
