Ep. 10: The Bagel Ambassador - Bagel Culture, Classics, and NYC’s Most Debated Bite

from Fork This City · host Fork This City Podcast

Josh and Gabby are joined by bagel connoisseur and curator Sam Silverman, founder of BagelUp and one of Brooklyn Magazine’s 50 Most Fascinating People. Together, they dive into New York’s bagel culture — from what actually makes a great bagel to how the city’s most iconic food has evolved over time. They talk history, hype, personal favorites, and the rules that should (or shouldn’t) exist when it comes to ordering a bagel. If you’ve ever had a strong opinion about boiled vs. toasted, schmears, or toasting, this episode is for you.https://www.bagelup.com/
