Draft Selection Matthew Schaefer's Unconventional Bagel Order Draws Controversy and Curiosity
In a world where the choice of a bagel order can sometimes spark heated debates, two notable figures, Matthew Schaefer and Andrew Garfield, have found themselves at the centre of a culinary storm. Matthew Schaefer, the highly-anticipated number 1 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft by the New York Islanders, has made waves off the ice with his cheese preferences. Known for his speed and strong work ethic on the rink, Schaefer's bagel order remains a mystery, but it has certainly piqued the public's interest. Some suggest it might even hint at a hidden culinary innovator lurking beneath the defensive powerhouse's persona. However, the reaction to Schaefer's bagel order has not been as positive as the reaction to the Isles taking him with the top pick in June. Some have questioned the authenticity of the local bagel spot's Islanders photos, while others have raised eyebrows at the lengthy wait times for Schaefer's cheese order. In contrast, Andrew Garfield, the former Governor of New York, has faced criticism for his unconventional bagel order. Bacon, cheese, and egg on an English muffin is not a traditional bagel order, and many believe it may have negatively impacted his mayoral campaign. Bagels, it seems, are a food that can elicit strong reactions. People often judge others based on their food orders, and the choice of a bagel can be a revealing insight into one's personality. In a recent interview with The Elmonsters on Substack, Schaefer revealed his go-to bagel order, and the discussion was described as fun. The speaker, however, expressed reservations about trying Schaefer's suggested order from the local bagel spot, opting instead to doctor up a standard bacon, egg, and cheese bagel at home with cream cheese and guacamole. Meanwhile, the college student who was once horrified by someone ordering a cheesesteak with mayo from Subway might find solace in the fact that even the most influential figures can't escape the scrutiny of their bagel orders. In the end, the bagel order saga serves as a reminder that even in the realm of food, there is always room for debate, innovation, and a little bit of fun.
