Week: Thur.
August 4th
The first order of business I take care of when visiting New
York is to eat a bagel. In the big city bagels are served the
size of a head, slathered with a one-inch thick coating of cream
cheese and arrive freshly baked and warm. A true New York bagel
is dense yet chewy, offering little to no resistance and is delicately
balanced between sweet and salty.
A true New York bagel can be enjoyed unadulterated. However,
here in the south bagels need a deep coating of cream cheese,
which nobody ever gives you. I’m constantly forced to pay
for a half dozen (sometimes more) extra sides.
The closest thing I’ve come to a New York bagel here in
Atlanta is Goldbergs. No, they don’t serve those gigantic
bagels I’m so used to, but they do offer a close enough
version that keeps me from jumping on a plane once a week just
to get my fix.
Goldbergs, like most, will obscenely jack up your bagel with
globs of cream cheese if you ask. They don’t even stare
at you like your weird for making the request, leading me to
believe that a large portion of their clientele is from my hometown.
They also do a fine corned beef hash and miniature beef links – toss
some eggs and cheese onto it and you got yourself a breakfast
sandwich of champions.
Those homemade classic black and white cookies we all loved so
much growing up make the perfect dessert. What? Don’t you
do dessert after breakfast? Dessert is one of the most important
courses of a meal and should never be forgotten, even with breakfast.
If you happen to stop by the Roswell Road location, look for
a good looking fella' wearing a 5 Seasons Brewing t-shirt conversing
oddly with a funny little green bird perched on his shoulder. |
Bagel with extra, extra, extra cream
cheese, please!
