September 2023 Bagel Buzz

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

Welcome to the "Bagel Buzz,” your go-to source for bagel industry news! In this edition, you’ll find August’s best stories, accolades for a BagelFest winner, and get to know more of our BagelBassador crew.


Also, I flew out to California last month to investigate the New York Times claim that The Best Bagels Are in California (Sorry, New York). Is it actually true? No. BUT, there were some damn good ones. Follow my Instagram for recaps of the trip.
