Ed shares his expert take on the best bagel spots in NYC, weighs in on the ever-controversial California bagel scene, and talks about the rising love for bialys. From the perfect crust-to-chew ratio to what really matters when judging a bagel, Ed’s insights are as delicious as they are opinionated.
In the second half of the episode, John and Andrea are joined by Melanie Frost of Ess-A-Bagel, one of New York City’s most iconic bagel institutions. They explore the brand’s deep roots in NYC food culture, how it has grown and evolved while staying true to its signature recipe, and what’s next for this beloved bagel destination.
A must-listen for bagel obsessives and culinary culture lovers alike.
