closest thing to the real thing

Tuesday, July 19, 2005
The closest thing to real bagels and bialys in Seattle that I've found is Bagel Oasis. They steam their bagels, which gives them that authentic, strange chewy but not too chewy texture that bagels are supposed to have. I love their bialys too. (Is that how you pluralize bialy? It looks so strange...) I drive miles to get these as opposed to succumbing to what Noah's claims is a bagel. It's close to Whole Foods, so you can always stop there while doing high end grocery shopping, if that's your thing. Apparently there's also a cafe in Madison Valley called My Place or something that flies in bagels from New York - if you're desperate for the real real thing, that may be your next best bet.
