Some things are just made to go together:  coffee and cream.  Bread and butter.  Orange juice and champagne.  Eggs and bacon.

And of course...........bagel and cream cheese!!

But there is a national crisis in the making when it comes to that last crucial combination; that's because of a critical and growing cream cheese shortage.

The shortage is focused around the New York City area, and has got so bad that in some cases, bagel shop owners are having to go to New Jersey to find cream cheese supplies.
