Although all below signs point to Yes.
I’m no stranger to weird compliments. I’ve been told too many times that I look like Miley Cyrus; still haven’t opened Pandora’s Box and asked if that was before or after she became possessed. A friend told me that I would make a great manager of a Rainforest Cafe. Knightly party, Safari of 1, your adventure awaits you. But my favorite compliment as of recent was,
“You’re like the Guy Fieri of New York Real Estate”.
What?
Guy Fieri is the Nickleback of the food world. He’s the human equivalent of an above ground pool. He looks like a more swollen version of the lead singer of Smash Mouth. He’s the Kevin of students; the Time Warner of internet servers. He’s that person grinding up on you on a crowded L train car with no air-conditioning that has been delayed for 20 minutes due to train traffic. He’s the anti-Bourdain. He’s every Chad you know. He’s the guy who still has a text message signature. He is everything that was wrong about the 90s, except not in the 90s. His palette is similar to that of an unchaperoned 9 year old at a Chuckie Cheese birthday party. His restaurant was reviewed entirely in questions, save for one sentence, and it is a work of art.
So while I’ll take Miley being Miley, please don’t let the below confuse you:
I am not Guy Fieri.

The Bagel Nook‘s Oreo Bagel…this absurdity is made with pulverized-oreo-containing, that gets split, smothered with a thick layer of Oreo-flavored cream cheese (a mixture of crushed cookies and sweetened cream cheese), and then topped with whole Oreo cookies
