Lunch With Kenji: Mt. Bagel, Seattle WA

[dennisc]

Looks so good. Like it won't rip apart the roof of my mouth

[drewb.]

love bagels like these, I make ones similar around 60% hydration which gives the a slightly open interior.
The bubbles are from overnight bulk fermentation after shaping, the CO2 releases slowly in the outer skin on the bagel made from the low fridge temp.
these ones look great!

Thank you for taking a bite and saying "mmm" kenji!

[brandon-shreds]

Appreciate the humor in taking the on-camera bite. Looking forward to trying this place out!

Finally this New Yorker finds a major food voice who does not toast his bagels! Thank you, Kenji!

[INFJtrader]

You’ve taught me everything I know about cooking and mostly food in general. Helps a lot, thank you

[thugg]

Yeah... i watched the entire video hoping you'd take a bite. Thank you!! It looks delicious.

[ChessPiece_Face]

There was something so decisive about that bite at the end.

I've been north of Seattle from ny for the past 3 days and there are no good bagels here. Im heading in to Seattle soon and this is literally PERFECT Timing! Thank you!!!

[averagezing]

Awesome! My bagel standards are very very low, but this might be something I have to try out. Half hour bus ride, walkable to the UW Arboretum, sounds like a good day to me! Thanks Kenji

[AdrasAdraki]

I came here just for the mmmhhh, glad you didn't forget.

[yankee]

If you make your way down to Tacoma, Howdy Bagel is spot on. A must check out spot.

[PeregrineX]

Looks a lot like the bagels at Courage Bagels in LA. Super crispy crust and fluffy like sourdough inside. Exciting to see quality "west coast style" bagels taking off.

[altgirl]

Everything bagels are my favorite kind of bagel! I love lots of cream cheese on it, too!

[MGS]

Sounds like a great idea for people who don't like gummy bagels

[CPUGaming]

Lox bagels might be the best American breakfast

[LunarisDream]

Kenji is radiating a very sensual energy in this vid's thumbnail and I'm all for it

[senatorjuke]

Would love your thoughts on how recipes differ between this and NY. I thought it’s probably a longer rest after shaping to get the outer texture. Maybe some sourdough?

[Boddah.]

It looks like a croissant/bagel hybrid.

[Nonsense]

It looks like you've been putting in some work lately, congratulations 🦾
