Who Really Fathered the Everything Bagel?

Who Really Fathered the Everything Bagel?
Warm from the bakery in the Rockaways. Second that thought. Some years ago, I reluctantly added the everything bagel to my list of REAL bagels - plain, onion, poppy, salt, garlic. Cinammon-raisin, cheese? Why not just go to DunkinStarbucksAuBon Pain for a bagel? Now, let's find out who "invented" the black and white bagel. Maybe, it was the poster who worked at Carvel.

CapeCodBob:
Haven't seen egg bagels in years - and bialys seem to have disappeared from most bagel shops as well.
You should know that bialys and bagels are made from different flours. And the onions in the center are usually caramelized - not toasted like on bagels.
As far as I know, the only purveyor of quality bialys these days is Kossars on the lower east side....
And has everyone forgotten pletzels and onion boards? Oy, such aches I have for those on a Saturday night....

I don't care who "invented" it, I just thank them every time I order one! Toasted with veggie cream cheese, please!

Hey, easy on the onion bagels. Before the Everything Bagel those were my favorites. Plus, the onions used in the center of bialy (moist) are quite a bit different than those thicker, crunchier type onion seeds used on the bagel.
My favorite bagel sandwich: Toasted Everything Bagel, on one half cream cheese and salty lox, on other half butter and American cheese.
As far as controversy. I believe it's over. What's in a name? When it comes to the Everything Bagel, I believe everything.

I will allow cinnamon-raisin bagels to exist alongside plain, poppy and sesame. If you want an onion bagel get a bialy.
Have egg bagels vanished?

Taking inspiration from Starbucks, they should make After-Everything Bagel Mints.

Sesame seeds only. I can't even look at the everything bagel. ewwww!

@amber...Lox is wonderful on an everything bagel! I just can't stand how the bagel has been bastardized. I mean, Asiago cheese bagels?? Gimme a break!
Who Really Fathered the Everything Bagel?
ahhh the everything bagel. the downfall of my low-carb diet. and i just imagine think that a whole grain whole wheat version would be as tasty! too bad (or maybe it's a good thing) there are no bagel places close to my work - or that's what i'd be having for lunch!
Who Really Fathered the Everything Bagel?
I personally love a good everything bagel, but since I'm not a New Yorker my opinion probably doesn't count when it comes to bagels!
BTW, why can't you put lox on an everything bagel? I'm pretty sure I remember doing it and it was delicious...... Don't laugh- I'm not from New York.
Who Really Fathered the Everything Bagel?
Thank you, Jeff! By me, if you can't put lox on it it isn't a bagel. Forget the everything bagel. I want to know who invented the Asiago, raisin and chocolate bagels. I want to slap them silly.
Who Really Fathered the Everything Bagel?
When I was in college back in the late 60's, I worked at a local Carvel stand. Every now and then one of us would make a mistake ie a sundae with chocolate icre cream instead of a vanilla, a large cone instead of a small, etc.
The owner, either smart or cheap, came up with the idea of just dumping these mistakes into a 5 gallon tub and freezing them. And then he called it "Treasure Island". It was the single most popular flavor we had - people would buy 1/2 gallons of the stuff!
What has this got to do with an everything bagel? Who knows what whimsy created that? A mistake perhaps? :)
PS - My opinion? There should only be 3 types of bagels - plain, poppy, and sesame. And maybe a garlic. Asiago? Feh!
Who Really Fathered the Everything Bagel?
I've never eaten an everything bagel. I usually stick to plain, cinnamon raisin, or sometimes asiago cheese. It does look pretty good though.
