The California boy was toasted online to order gluten-free puff pastry in New York

Los Angeles is one of America’s best cities for food, where cultures and flavors collide, where star chefs come to open their dream projects, and where anyone, at any price, can find life-changing food. to give It’s also, unfortunately, where sometimes people want to take out the inside of their gluten-free cookie because they’re trying to be healthy or something.

Such is the case with Taylor Offer, the CEO of a famous California-based clothing brand, who went viral on TikTok for ordering a cookie like a madman in New York City. In the video, which has so far been viewed nearly 4 million times, Affer describes how she was yelled at by a pastry shop worker for trying to order a gluten-free pastry.

“I’m not picking up your bagel, bro,” Offer claims a worker told him when he placed an unusual order in New York. I was like dude, this is how I want it, Affer continues, but he says the worker was like, get out of here with that street.

Perhaps even more striking than the alleged exchange between Offer and the anonymous worker are the comments on the OffersTikTok video. I am the bakery team. One commenter says that erased sweets are a crime. So credit to the deli guy for setting healthy boundaries adds another.

Of course, this being social media, it’s just as likely that the interaction either didn’t actually happen, or was just meant as a cheeky joke, some kind of meta-commentary on some bad food preferences that a few Angelenos might have. have.

In later videos, Offer uses various other foods in Los Angeles while staying in New York, apparently just to get people’s attention. He says New York City is like an avocado. He fakes a Valley accent as he says he asked a pizzeria worker to cut the crust off a slice of pizza. And she even, in the end, makes him a baked bagel, which of course he promptly eats over the trash can.

He ends that video by announcing that Los Angeles’ own Courage Bagels is the best bagel in the world, so, yeah, it looks like he’s really ready to ruffle some feathers. At leastNew York Times Agree that California has some of the best pastries in the country.
