Measuring Density at Knead Bagels
Knead Bagels opened in November inside the ever-changing deli spot on Walnut Street. The two things I may be most picky about are pickles and bagels. But once I heard of the enticingly creative bagel flavors like togarashi and porcini, it was time to judge away.
Knead also recently added a lunch menu with meat and fish bagel sandwiches, but I wanted to be able to really focus on the bagel. I picked the black sesame bagel with roasted tomato cream cheese ($3.50). The bagel was compact and oozing with cream cheese. This was a good thing, because I fully enjoyed the thick and flavorful cream cheese. The bagel though, was too dense for my liking. It just didn’t have the pillowy effect that NY Bagels bring to the table. I didn’t hate eating it. And I only spent a few dollars and wouldn’t mind going back. I just can’t add it to my regular breakfast type food list (its a small list, but would include places like Amy’s and Grubhouse).

You must be the dense one here, wayneypoo.
I do NOT prefer dense and compact bagels.
I like them pillowy, like any good New Yorker does.

Pillowy? Sounds suspiciously like a Lenders bagel…
I like my bagels like I like my women… hard, tough, wizened and rough as an old dockworkers calloused heel

As long as there’s a hole.
Are we still talking bagels?

I like my dockworkers like I like my bialys – hard, crusty and redolent of onion. Who said anything about bagels?

Another man who appreciates some dcokside rough trade. Gives new meaning to hand rolled. Don’t forget the schmear.

Jamie likes her bagels like her men…
Dense, compact, thick, flavorful and oozing
Happy New Year!
