Sweetness of the Day: Bagel Rising
Thursday is Bagel Day here at ATG: each member of the bagel club brings in a couple dozen bagels and a few types of shmear, and we gather ’round the toaster and chat about things. It’s a great way to have non-work conversations at work (and for newbies like me to meet lots of great people), and of course, who doesn’t like bagels?
Mostly, we get big chain bagels (Brugger’s, Finagle, and Panera compete for the most-often spot), so I was pleasantly surprised when we got our bagels from Bagel Rising in Allston.
The trick to finding a good bagel place, according to my girlfriend who knows these things, is their ability to do a salt bagel. Most places won’t try it: it’s a difficult thing to do well. Apparently, the salt makes it difficult for the bagel to remain edible (and not a hockey puck). Bagel Rising delivered: their salt bagel was coated in pretzel-like salt, but still managed to be chewy and delicious.
Unfortunately for you non-Bostonians out there, Bagel Rising is only available in Allston. But the next time you’re in town, consider your salt bagel on me.
