In the 1990s, Pizza Hut unveiled an important cheese-in-bread innovation, the stuffed crust pizza. Now, Philadelphia cream cheese and H&H Bagels, a New York City-based bagel shop, are making a bagel stuffed with cream cheese.

But unlike stuffed-crust pizzas, the bagel is filled with cheese after it is baked, making it more of a cream cheese bagel donut, if not in spirit then at least in form. The bagels are “baked fresh daily and then cooled to be individually stuffed with Philly’s signature cream cheese one at a time,” according to Jay Rushin, CEO of H&H. “H&H Bagels use a pastry tool to pipe in the Philly cream cheese by hand,” he added.

But certain food products, including baked goods, are tax exempt, while prepared foods are not. “It’s when a bagel becomes a sandwich or a prepared food that it then becomes taxable,” he said. In New York City, food sold at restaurants is taxed at 8.875%. Philadelphia and H&H plan to skirt this rule with the stuffed bagel, which is available at H&H’s Manhattan locations for $1.90 each, from Friday through Tax Day on Tuesday, April 18; and also online.

That is entirely too much cream cheese 🤢

The one time perhaps ever I feel comfortable speaking for the entirety of the city of New York: No.

Before I pass judgement

wow incredible they may finally have invented a bagel that doesn't suck

So when you cut this bagel in half it's like a bagel with cream cheese pre-spread. Same result but more $$. 🤦🏽

Why? Where do I put my lox? My red onion? Where am I putting my obscene quantity of capers on a stuffed bagel?

NO

How is one supposed to achieve proper toasting which allows the cream cheese to get nice and melty over the crusted toasty ridges and valleys?

You eat too many of these and your arteries will look like that too.

yummy

That's not a bagel.

Just no.

This will be the catalyst to peace in the Middle East because both Jews and Arabs will never stand for this.

🧀🥯=🤤 I want to taste the amazing cream cheese-filled bagel from Philly & H&H Bagels. It looks like a delicious way to enjoy our favorite bagel, without paying extra in NYC! 🗽🙌 If you love carbs and cheese, you have to try it!

Finally‼️ 🥯

But... what about the schmear?

Ewwwww (sorry I hate cream cheese)

Who likes warm cream cheese

Good for business. Terrible for health.

H&H is great so …

Bantam Bagels in NYC started this.

… JacobBlunden 👀

Wawa has been doing this..

Remember when illegals were destroying America and you continue to HIDE and LIE

Oh my goodness! I want one.

Americans are so freaking fat and we wonder why

Only in NY do they charge you extra for a hole

The strike has been settled! SeinfeldTV

So the bigger issue is that this isn’t new but for some reason my problem is calling it stuffed-crust. It’s not a crust, you stuff a pizza crust because it’s the outer ring of the pizza. This is the whole bagel. It’s like calling a jelly donut a stuffed crust donut.

Yum

i used to have this shit for hot lunch in school wdym “now”

Is Kramer still on strike?

Fucking, genius

now that's a reason to boycott a business

TheeTedSmith

They got it with lox spread?

Dunkin’ Donuts has been doing it for years

There must be a dairy surplus. The USDA always incentivizes processed food companies, like Pizza Hut, to use more of these subsidized products in American foods.

America is so damn fat 🇺🇲
