I have no idea whether Chesapeake bagels are "real bagels" or "NY bagels"
and I don't much care, but I *definitely* think they're better than 
supermarket bagels.  I frequent the Tyson's Route 7 location and the 
Willston Plaza location on 50 in Falls Church, and I think both have perfectly
fine bagels (although they're quite different in atmosphere).   

It's a matter of opinion, of course, but I think the difference in price
(and I don't think it's THAT dramatic -- of course I buy only a few 
bagels at a time) is worth it.  To me, Giant and Safeway bagels have this
funny texture and this strange aftertaste.
