A fictional alligator holding an everything bagel inside a neighborhood bagel shop
✳ WELCOME TO THE SWAMP'S FINEST DELI

HE JUST
WANTED
A BAGEL.

One alligator. One everything bagel.
An entirely unnecessary amount of drama.

Apparently that's too much to ask.

ALL HE WANTED
WAS BREAKFAST.

On October 29, 2026, a real alligator wandered into a bagel shop in Southport, North Carolina. It was safely removed. Nobody reported the gator placing an order.

But we know what he wanted.

ONE EVERYTHING BAGEL.
EXTRA SCHMEAR.

A JOKE.

He's been waiting for his bagel since October.

TO TABLE.

They wouldn't serve him.
So he opened his own place.

No dress code. No reservations. No refunds.
Everything bagels only.
