Real New York Bagels
I first learned how to make bagels when a customer came into the bakery where I worked and offered to give me a quick ‘how to’ lesson. I agreed, not knowing they previously owned a famous Lower East Side bagel shop, and currently run an international operation.
Working with that passionate bagel maker inspired me to start on my own bagel journey, culminating when I earned second place in the US Bread Awards bagel category 2 years in a row!
