National Bagel Day Is THIS Weekend, January 15th

Local Food Scientist Shows How They Make Their Bagels in Step by Step Drool Worthy Video

For the past 30 years, food scientist and internationally-renowned chef Brad Kent has been working tirelessly to perfect the taste and texture of both pizzas and bagels which marks now as the perfect time to debut his new establishment, Bagel+Slice. Paying homage to the historic New York City bagel makers, Bagel+Slice rolls their bagels by hand (not a machine), boils the bagels (instead of steaming them), bakes their bagels on a burlap lined board (not parchment paper) and bakes their bagels in a hearth oven (not a convection oven). Bagel+Slice is gluten free friendly and their doughs for bagels and pizzas are all vegan. Watch the quick 45 second step by step video to see how chef Brad Kent makes Bagel+Slice bagels!

Bagel+Slice is a gluten free and vegan friendly establishment. Chef Brad Kent created his own brand of gluten free flour made from wheat to use for Bagel+Slice’s gluten free options to create a gluten free bagel that adheres to the traditional standards. Chef Brad Kent has also developed delicious plant-based recipes, making many of his own vegan recipes using whole food ingredients that minimize food waste and maximize flavor.

Bagel+Slice is committed to the future of our planet by contributing in major ways towards reversing climate change. One important contribution they are making, which has been linked with being one of the most highly effective ways for reducing greenhouse gasses and sequestering carbon from the environment, is by sourcing regenerative organic farmed ingredients.

Bagel+Slice also aims to support their neighbors. Kent stated, “We are committed to providing jobs for our community that pay better than minimum wage and hope to be able to offer exceptional employment benefits that would not normally be offered in a typical “small business.” We are also committed to charging the lowest possible prices for the highest quality products that incorporate premium ingredients to make our very familiar foods accessible to all. Our commitment to a lower profit margin ensures that we can provide affordable, high-quality meals for ALL our neighbors.”

Bagel + Slice will be opening its doors early in 2022.
