Rosemary-sea salt bagel with scallion cream cheese
I never thought I’d call a New York City bagel-eater deprived, but that’s the conclusion I’ve come to after reading the top bagel picks of the
New York Times food editors.
Their bagel preferences were posted January 23 on @nytcooking, the newspaper’s food Instagram page. The culinary pros in the bagel capital of the world announced choices like bacon, egg and cheese on toasted cinnamon; whole wheat everything with tofu veggie cream cheese; and egg everything with cream cheese and bacon.
WTF?!
No one picked a rosemary-sea salt bagel, an outstanding addition to a food landscape that's bereft of nothing. For a bagel traditionalist like me with a half-century preference for poppy and sesame, a variety that knocks them out of the toaster is front-page news. Not a glossy on the gram.
