The original name, "savory bread pudding," just didn't cut it. Leftover bagels are one component, noted the local Chowhound who first steered me this way. There's some biscuit, too, added the counterman, and lots more — sweet sausage, ham, egg, a dose of black pepper — most everything associated with a certain mighty breakfast combo except the potatoes and, unless you dress for the occasion, the plaid flannel. Henceforth, ask for the "lumberjack" ($4).
Also shown: a "crazy cookie."
