| Why Are New York Bagels The Best |
The Science (Kinda) Behind the Magic
Now, I know what you're thinking: "It's just a bagel, dude." But trust me, there's more to this than meets the eye (or mouth). It's a delicate dance of ingredients, technique, and, gasp, even water.

- Water, Water Everywhere: Some folks swear it's the magical properties of New York City water that gives these bagels their distinct flavor. I mean, it can't hurt, right?
- Hand-Rolled Perfection: Forget those machine-made, flat, lifeless circles. New York bagels are hand-rolled, creating that perfect, chewy texture.
- The Boil: Before hitting the oven, New York bagels take a dip in the boiling pot. This creates that signature crispy exterior and soft, chewy interior.
