i just recently found a hilarious blog that tried this trend out--mistakenly with dark chocolate. big no no

Hello, if anyone is in the Brandon Fl area, check out Brandon Bagels, I am the baker there and I quarantee our bagels are one of the best around, I have 20+ years experience and I also make bialys.
This nonsense with N.Y water to me is just not so, it has to do with the equipment too not just the water.

i feel like such a wet blanket but I am tired beyond tired of the trendy "bacon" everything trend, Just as i feel you don't cover good caramel with other things, I don't think you cover bacon with other things. I'm sick of "Bacontinis" (YUCK! bacon beverages sound disgusting, but then, i'm not a martini drinker nor am I a cocktail type - it's yet another trend)
Why can't we just eat food. Bacon is great - if you like it. Plain ol' bacon. And mole? yeah theres a bit of chocolate in it, as are there nuts and seeds. We've made chicken mole and like it but we respect the traditional recipes.
Can we just go back to making food because we like it, not because it's the latest thing?
curmudge, curmudge...

Bacon, chocolate -- two of my favourite things!
I think men will especially love it.
Will be testing it out very soon.

I to, have made chocolate covered bacon for some time now. It is always a little scary for newbees to take that first bite, but when they do, the look on the face is divine. Also, I recently put some crumbled bacon in a traditional New York Cheesecake, maybe next time I'll try it with a chocolate cheesecake. Yum, again!

@wmasson- how long have you been dying to say that somewhere? as much as you SAY that, it won't come to fruition because there are "enchiladas covered in mole" and "chicken fajitas" and "cheese quesadillas" on menus all across the nation. semantics, my friend.

I really want to try this new trend!! I love savory foods.

Ok so Enchiladas means literally coated in chilis. Hence red enchiladas come from red chilis and green enchiladas come from green chilis. So when we say enchiladas, we are refereeing to tortillas stuffed with chicken covered in a chili sauce. (Chili as in the pepper not the meaty sauce popular all over the US). One would never really pour mole over enchiladas because the combination of sauces might not be so tastey. I think you were trying to refer to enmoladas, meaning covered in mole sauce. These are tortillas stuffed with chicken and covered in the dark mole.

saying an enchilada would be covered in mole is like asking for a chicken fajita. Fajita means skirt steak and there is no such thing as a chicken skirt steak. Or like saying cheese quesadillas, quesadilla implies cheese.

Mmmm! I've been devouring Jewish deli egg bagels from Chicago the last few days. No good bagels where I live. I don't know about Brooklyn bagels, but Chicago bagels are awesome!! Especially when they are bought in large quantities and brought to another state.

I was just in Delray Beach, but I didn't go to Brooklyn Water because my husband's grandmother was there (she used to live in Jersey before moving to Florida) and said it was no better than the other bagel places. She likes Way Beyond Bagels so that's where I went.

As an aside -- she is in a wheelchair and she told me that all of Brooklyn Water had booths -- which are not wheelchair friendly unless you pull up at the end. In a town like Delray Beach, with a lot of senior citizens using wheelchairs/scooters you would like they would have some tables so folks in chairs won't have to be sitting on the end blocking the aisle.

@clearguy: I know what you mean, but I say cynically that Einsteins is NOT in for much competition, because as odd as it seems to us, many people actually prefer what I will call "ring-shaped bread" to a bagel. Since moving away from the Northeast, I have heard many people say how they don't like the toothy, almost leathery texture of a true bagel. Einsteins' product is meant to appeal to the masses.

Unbelievable, I have been in Florida for over 20 years and knew the first day I moved here there was something wrong with the bagels and pizza.
I traveled from Coral Gables to Delray to try these bagels. I was truly amazed. These are as good if not better than anything I have eaten in NY. They definitely could stand side by side with H&H. Also the food was like eating gourmet at prices less than any bagel restaurant I have eaten in South Florida. I wish that I could have come up with this idea 20 years ago. Kudos to the owners of this new company. Einsteins and the other bagel shops are in for some heavy competition. I will be up there at least twice a month to pick up my supply of their bagels.

THE BEST bagels in South Florida can be found at Sage Bagels on Hallandale Beach Blvd in Hollywood. There I said it without having even tried this 'Brooklyn' joint's wares. Sage rivals the best NYC bagel IMHO.
