Recently I came to work and joined a heated Caper debate in progress. It seems like it's even more polarizing than the classic Beatles v. Stones or Star Trek v. Star Wars debates. Most people were staunchly in their camp of Capers Are Awesome or Capers Are Disgusting Horrible Little Pissballs. Me, I like them. I will fight anyone who wants to on this.
Take for example this beautiful lox bagel from Cafe Petra on Guerrero at 17th. When Big Jer and I get a craving for lox, this is where we head. Why? Capers. They add that punch to the whole package, while at the same time somehow mellowing out the fish flavor that might be otherwise unappealing on a hangover day like today. Maxfield's, our usual cafe which is closer, also has a lox bagel, but they don't put capers.
That's a damn shame if you ask me. Because capers are your little green friends that make good lox great.

Capers are awesome. Even the big Italian ones that still have the stem on them.
