Jerry's was more then a Deli... They created the Bagel Chip!
Pam and Jerry Seidman one day had left over bagels that were hard and got sick of throwing out the bagels constantly, so one day Jerry listened to wife Pam and put the bagels in the meat slicer to make the bagels in to extremely thin slices of bagel. Later on after playing with this new type of bagel, they added secret ingredients that included but were not limited to:

Garlic Salt
Sea Salt
Garlic (Fresh)
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Paprika

[edit] Trivia

Jerry's wife, Pamela Seidman invented the Jerry's Famous Deli Logo from the bottom of a frying pan to make the 'Round' shape.
