Episode 6 of Recognizably Jewish is all about the best-known and best-loved of Jewish foods - the humble but mighty bagel. You’ll learn when and how the bagel developed as a Jewish food in medieval Poland, as well as about the bagel’s arrival in, and impact on, America in the 20th century. And we’ll talk about the current bagel renaissance.
This episode includes excerpts of a phenomenal conversation I had with Joshua Pollack, the founder of Bridge and Tunnel Restaurant Group and the “Bagel Man” at Rosenberg’s Bagels (https://rosenbergsbagels.com/), my personal favorite bagel shop in Denver.
You can find the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen.
