Is A [Montreal]Bagel Without A Hole Still A Bagel

Is A [Montreal]Bagel Without A Hole Still A Bagel

It's one of those "Is A Hot Dog A Sandwich" questions. It was asked by a well known maker of cream cheese. Challenge - Bagel bakers: Come up with a bagel without a hole to hold more cream cheese and stuff. The Montreal part is even more intriguing. Montreal bagels are a bit of a different breed and very popular outside of Montreal as well. St. Viateur Bakery is considered the leader in Montreal and the only bakery in Canada chosen for this social experiment. Owner Vince Morena and I talked about how it went.

If You Don't Mind I'm Going To Speak Italian

Molto bene. Actually some friends and I are going to speak Braciole and Escarole. Braciole is having a moment thanks to The Bear.

First, however is a stroll through the Italian Garden with Mary Minetti. Delicioso!
