Read this and repeat it: There is no bagel but the Montreal bagel, all others are merely round bread. The true Montreal bagel is made in small batches, dunked briefly in boiling honey water, coated with either sesame or poppy seeds, (no namby, pamby other stuff in my opinion) baked in a wood fired oven (the same way for over a century) It is crispy, crunch on the outside and chewey on the inside. Once you have had a Montreal bagel (especially right out of the oven) you will be forever spoiled. The New York Times conducted blind taste tests between Montreal, New York and Toronto bagels. Montreal won every time. Every. Single. Time.
I'm rooting for Backyard Bagel to come out #1 at the end of this! As a NYC transplant I can vouch that they hands down have the best NYC-like bagels in town (even if they do add salt to their everything bagels ;).
Backyard Bagel is the best bagel shop I’ve ever been to! I really hope it wins!
backyard bagel is the GOAT fr i met some guy in the bathroom and he put me onto the cream filled double creamy bagel
Here to root for backyard bagel!! They have some of the best bagels I have ever tasted in YEARS!! voting them 100%
I had backyard bagel in my backyard
Voted! So fun 👏👏
Cmon Loxsmith!
Did Toasted start making their own bagels? or are they still selling Backyard bagels?
As of right now, they are selling Backyard Bagel bagels.
so, we are judging them on the schmear and toppings, then?
The rules are that you can cast your vote for any reason you want!
So, in a way, if Toasted Wins it’s really a win for Backyard. 🤙🏻

In terms of the bagel itself, Backyard absolutely. But beyond the bagel…
