Finding The Best Bagel in New York - Розваги
that first bagel looked the best imo. everything just look perfect on it, just the perfect balance of ingredients
Absolutely
Utopia really is the best bagel in the city by far
@@B339KLO39 Hells yeah. It sure looks like it.
@@B339KLO39 I get their frozen bagels all the time and even those are amazing!
I couldn't agree more !
I really do love the combo of Joe and Harry. Their personalities even out in the perfect way for this kind of content.
Bro, yall say the same thing in every video! Find a new line! We get it already.
As much as I love Food Wars, I'm lovin this Finding Best Of series. And I hope it goes for at least a few more rounds.
Harry: *tells a beautiful story about how excited he is to experience some of his culture's roots*
Joe: I'm starving
Dunno why but I laughed at this exchanged, it;s so them
Bagels and Lox are meant to be eaten open faced.
They have the same personality, it is just a nice one, and different accents
We absolutely need a taco and bbq episode in LA. Definitely need to do more of these.
Texas or South Carolina for barbecue
@Chungus581 I feel like there's many different styles of bbq in the us that they would have to cover many states
@@normtrooper4392 yeah that’s true but I chose those because I think SC barbecue is the best of southern bbq and Texan is the best of KS/TX/OK bbq so it’d simplify it a bit.
@@Chungus581 those are fighting words down in the south
Yeah Texan bbq
Food Tours is an absolute vibe. Love Joe and Harry!
Love it
Agreed !!
They are really 2 great personalities who compliment each other, work great together from opposite sides of the pond, UK and USA, who are genuine, gives us great review opinions of delicious foods, have fun, and don't over act for the camera
We’re BACK! I already miss these bagels so much 🤤
Need a food tour across the world with you two, stat
We need joe to try Tesco meal deals! 😊
Hoping for a Season 2 of London, there’s still more to try there: chicken and chips, meal deals, Nando’s, Greggs, Sunday Roast etc.
Got to head to Montreal with Joe for bagels there.
Brilliant video. But truthfully from one London Jew to another, when it cones to just the bagel alone, I won’t believe any of these are better than ‘Daniels’ on Finchley Road until I’ve tried them myself…! Nothing beats the uniquely super chewy London bagel.
Fun episode to shoot. Can’t get enough of that nyc lox! What was your favorite?
Gotta be the one with the scallions
Pretty much all of them, Joe. The ones we get over here (UK) tend to be the mass-produced fellas that you buy in the supermarket. They're rank.
@@80sGamerLadythe classic lox
Hey, Joe....if you want to know who Timothee Chalamet is......he is the one playing Willy Wonka in the upcoming prequel movie.
I would stop by Ess-a-bagel 3x/week back when I was in grad school. I miss it so much
7:42 blink and you'll miss it. That baker made those bagels so freaking quick.
Lox (Lachs) is literally the German word for Salmon!
Well, lachs is. Lox isn't a word in either English or German.
In sweden its lax
That makes sense
@@ZimowHDYeah that sounds familiar from IKEA 😊
Laks is the Danish word for salmon. Also, lox is just a stupid word New Yorkers made up because they thought it sounds more "European".
I can sympathize in a bagel hotspot like NYC you can't hit all the top contenders, but Russ & Daughters being left off seems like a crime, over 100 years of bagel dominace straight from the birthplace of the bagel (Poland). That aside, loved this episode!
The Russ & Daughter's Bagel isn't that great. The salmon is top tier but not the bagels themselves
They might have said no to filming
Agreed! Surprised they weren't included. Certainly much better than Ess-a-Bagel in my experience, so disappointing it wasn't featured as the last spot.
Agree too and also this video should’ve been called “finding the best bagel and lox in New York” 😒
@@Ash_Wen-liAgreed. Lox is fantastic (as well as their schmeers) but the bagel itself, price, and ease of ordering at their locations are all points off for me.
Hey Guys! Thank you for stopping by Liberty Bagels. Comeback soon :)
Life is too short to not enjoy amazing food like this. Great tour and well shot. Thanks for the upload!
Loving this series with Joe & Harry! This episode is making me wish I was in NYC visiting my brother.
Love the WW2 date range comment. It encapsulated so much in so few words.
I work in a bagel shop so I eat one almost every day. This video is literally out here making me crave a lox. Ahhh
I love this series and Joe & Harry together. Maybe let's try the weirdest pizzas in NY could be fun. Like the Tri-color pizza and the clam pizza.
I love this idea!!! 💡👏🏼😁❤️
Don’t mess with pizza
Two Boots Pizza has one called The Bayou Beast, inspired by Cajun cuisine, with spiced shrimp, crawfish, andouille sausage and jalapeños. It's delicious.
I’m from New Zealand and I love this series it’s so cool to see these iconic American food favourites and the different ways they are done
Bagels are not from the usa
I’m loving this new series❤ great job Joe and Harry!
Im glad to see you guys split stuff. As always its great to see you both together.
Now this is my idea of heavenly Sunday viewing. No where to get good bagels near me but a good authentic fresh bagel is amazing.
I know no one asked but my dream bagel is:
Plain bagel+smoked salmon+loads of onion+scallion cream cheese (which I had no clue was a thing)+ maybe some burger gherkins? I never had them with bagel but imagine it might be good!
Also never been to new york but in London, our typical bagel spot sells these for like £3.5 so £12 for bagel is NUTS to me
Agreed it’s very expensive
These are mostly heavily popular bagel destinations so the price is definitely inflated but most New Yorkers could stop by their local deli and grab a bagel in the morning for around ~$1-5~ depending if you want it plain or with sausage, eggs, bacon etc.
They are close to that if you get just cream cheese no salmon.
As a person who's had bagels in NY and London. I feel the need to clarify something. Smoked Salmon =/= Lox. Smoked salmon is cured and smoked. Lox is just cured similar to gravelox, except gravelox has got herbs... which might be better in a NY bagel. The Lox MUST be cut super thin (so you can read a new york newspaper through it), as this will lead to even more tender texture and when you bite, half the filling won't come out with it. Also, when you say "pickles" in the US you generally mean burger gherkin. However, US pickles generally fall under 2 categories; 1. Bread and butter pickles (pickled with mustard seeds, sugar(giving it a sweet taste), and onions) 2. Dill pickles (pickled with dill and other herbs). The standard NY bagel includes bagel(Plain, Poppy, sesame, onion salt, garlic, pumpernickel, everything, whole wheat, egg, cinnamon, pretzel bagel), Cream Cheese (Plain, scallion, vegetable, horseradish-dill, goat, lox, caviar, green olive, vegan), red onions, capers, tomatoes. Usually the place makes their own bagels and cream cheese. Russ & Daughters, which is my personal favorite, cure their own fish as well, although it's quite posh... and the prices reflect that. For a bagel in London, the CLOSEST i was able to get was Papo's bagels (run by a NY couple). The guy makes the bagels every morning.
Thank you, Jie and Harry! Now I wish there was a bagel shop near me!
Yesss I thought i was the only one obsessed with Joe and Harry! 😅 yayyyy more content with these two gems 🎉
The one with the lettuce - noooooooo! I think the first one was the best. This show is a vibe. I value their opinions. In fact I love this show!❤🎉
I hope we get ones about Seafood, Barbecue, and Steaks.
Harry only visited New York City on this trip, so they're sticking to iconic NYC foods.
@@PapagenoMF last episode was Philly cheesesteaks in Philly
@@bigtimegamer56 Good point, I forgot about that one. Maybe they just stuck to the East in their first go aroiund.
Really enjoy these. More so than the food wars. Hopefully there’s more on the way.
@@bigtimegamer56Philly is an 1 hr on a train. So not very far at all
Thanks guys. You’ve given me a totally fresh outlook on bagels. I’m definitely going to try adding capers to my UK lox bagels.
Just because it’s “standard” at many places here in NYC… doesn’t mean it’s the most popular. Most people (myself included) skip the capers. IMO they overpower everything and make it too salty.
We need a BBQ episode for sure 👌🏻
Kansas
We need to get these two their own TV show!!!
Joe and Harry have their own show. This is it, you just watched it. And its on YT which is better than TV.
Is this not a show? 🤨
The crunch on the “Worth it” bagel had me drooling!
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched... but are felt in the heart.
These food tour videos are great!! Love watching them
I loved the chicken bagel and the steak & cheese bagel in liberty bagels when I went to Manhattan, definitely a must visit!
Yesss, more Harry and Joe content 🙌
Necessity is the mother of invention, and repetition is the mother of near-perfection. That's all these institutions are based on and I think it's awesome.
I love this series! & those bagels look amazing! 🥯😋
Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary.
I'm a bagel purest, just want mine with plain cream cheese. When you put all the other stuff on it, it becomes hard to judge the bagelness. I grew up in Queens and have enjoy many a bagel at Utopia bagels, great choice, great episode!
this is my complaint with this video lol they keep saying "best bagel" but they're not judging the actual bagel at all
I live this new york and British series. Need more episodes please.
The best bagel I had in NYC was at best bagel and coffee on W 35th street, incredible bagels.
when I was a kid I would get a butter bagel from Ess a bagel for 1 dollar. there is a difference when you get an out of the oven bagel with butter over a toasted with butter. totally different texture and taste. I like both but prefer the out of the oven if I had to choose.
Bagels in NYC are just something else
You 2 Guys are a great team. I love your posts. Please keep them coming! Do Chinese food at some point, thanks!
Do I appreciate you acknowledging Queens exists! Best Borough.
Thank you! I so enjoy your channel and the food in general:)
Great video Guys. I grew up with this, and it looks so good 😊
I'm a bit anti flying but those bagels Wow. I might just have to get over my fear and jump on a plane to NYC for one of those bagels.. The British ones just don't compare, think the supermarkets have spoiled it with their long life bagels
Cunard do a transatlantic crossing but a return is probably a bit too expensive 😂
Liberty bagels is my personal favorite 😍, they have so many different options on bagels sandwiches I could never get sick of it, and they’re truly consistent
I was really disappointed in Liberty Bagels 😢
Great show, Im hungry for more 🥯
Loving this series!
My top 5:
1. Kossars (LES)
2. Tompkins Square Bagels
3. Essa Bagel
4. Chelsea Bagel of Tudor City
5. Russ and Daughters
Oooof, missed out on those incredible bagels at Olde Brooklyn Bagel Shoppe!
Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.
Please continue this series!!😇
Good to see you again. Happy Sunday
Currently eating a bagel while watching love the series keep it up!
That’s nuts the cost for bagel sandwich $12-15 😮. My perfect bagel sandwich 🥯 would be a toasted everything bagel , smoked salmon, cream cheese with a little jalapeño tomato and onion 😋
The way onions are most awesome is sliced paper thin and piled high, w/lemon juice squeezed on them.
Harry has an Ash and Charizard t-shirt!!! Cool!!!
Please make a travel series: Planes, Trains & Automobiles. & Lunch. It will be firkin EPIC 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Yeah, these all looked great and probably tasted even better. As much as NYC is great, NJ has its fair share of Bagle shops too. I'm just two blocks from literally a hole in the wall place that makes great bagels. Just had an everything bagel toasted with scallion cream cheese. Was Soo good. If you ever decide to see what's on the Jersey side of the Hudson you might be surprised.
Bagels baby. One thing, I never thought I’d like them. Bloody love em now.
Someone needs to do a montage of Joe dropping vegetables he's removed from sandwiches.
Wouldn’t mind going to NY just of the delicious bagels. Loved the commentary.🥯 👏 😋
When I visit NYC, my friend always takes me to the same shop in the morning. I always get a bagel with cream cheese. Sadly they are always out of Salmon but just with the cream cheese is great.
That final Bagel was clearly only seeded on one side, contrary to what Joe said previously!
That exact Ess-A-Bagel was the first breakfast I had in New York (second meal as we'd hit up Shake Shack the night before after landing) and it was gooooood! We sat almost exactly where they were except at the window counter because we wanted to people watch. I think the other good bagel spot we hit on our last day was called 'Best Bagel' or something and was also good. I loved New York.
I am a little confused by your statement about kettle boiling. Every bagel place in the city I know of kettle boils their bagels before baking. You have to do that or they are not crisp on the outside. The way you said it, it sounded like you think that there's another way to make them.
Crunchy on the outside. Chewy on the inside. Armadillos.
I love watching those two doing anything. ^^
Harry’s shirt is amazing. Am I the only one who noticed?
1947 was during ww2 might have been the craziest thing I’ve heard in a long time
3:30 I need to try Utopia Bagels. That bite looked delicious 16:33 Tompkins Bagel too. I like a more smokier salmon too
I’m going to Utopia tomorrow! I’m really excited to try their cream cheese lox!
this show has everything but good host chemistry
Growing up we always had bagels with a schmeer, like, half at a time, a bagel sandwich was kind of out of the question and the test of a good bagel was just how good the actual bagel was...which, in Brooklyn, it was always good. I do like a bagel sandwich but it can be a whole lot of food.
You guys are a awsome duo.....love your show
As a native NYCer, I'm not a fan of over-stuffed bagels. For me, a perfectly normal layer of ingredients where the ingredients won't fall out when I take a bite. For anyone wanting an interesting combination; poppy seed bagel, cream cheese, tomato, bacon. It will change your life.
Excitement replaced fear until the final moment.
Liberty Bagels is literally the best I have ever had. I’m a little biased because my family friends own it. Utopia is my second pick for sure
Harry looks like he started the day with a rough hangover!
Definitely need to hit up the southern states for the best BBQ.
I will never get tired of this ❤
This channels is FOOD HEAVEN...... YOU BOTH ARE FANTASTIC !!!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS ♥
I love Lox and bagels 🥯! Ordered Lox for lunch right after watching 😂
Cannot fault the picks. The first two and last spots truly represent the best in the city
Joe: at Liberty Bagels: "MMmm... I love scallions... I'm an onion-y boy... that scallion cream cheese"
Joe at ThompkinsL "(makes face)... this is really thick... the onions over take the lox... *throws out tomato*"
Also Joe: I pick Thompkins.
Ok, Joe. Please work on the consistency, or else it's just nonsense. Tell us up front what you're looking for. Then actually break down at the end WHY you chose that winner. Harry's comments are always consistent to the end, and his winner makes logical sense based on those comments and his reactions. Your comments and reactions then come off as inauthentic and sensationalism.
You made my day by saying 'not a fan of tomatoes in sandwiches, would eggs in a salmon cream cheese bagel work?;
Joe is such a vibe! ❤❤❤❤
I really need to not watch these videos while I'm hungry! LOL
A fresh bagel after 11am - a rare find where I live. Im actually fond of the poppy seeds bit. It did throw off my pee test before. Worth it.
This should have been titled “finding the best lox bagel in New York”
I went yesterday to ess-a-bagle for breakfast during my vacation in NYC and it was incredible. Huge bagles. I took The Pepe and my wife a salmon and creme bagle. Both great. Also, the location is great in you are downtown.
Usa really does make great bagels. When i went to Jersey, bagels became my favorites suddenly haha
Yes! this is my favorite show!!!
I haven't tried all these places but my fav place is "Best Bagel and Coffee" on 35th Street and 7th Avenue. It's chewy inside. They have a huge line during morning and lunch. I always order for pick up cause you would always be waiting
Love Harry's Trainer Red tshirt.
Bagels and lox is the most underrated combination in food history
More like overrated
@@anasibndawood6696 judging by all of your comments on this video, you really really hate bagels. Fair enough, but one comment is enough
@@JasonWW. not at all , I love bagels once in a while .everyone deserves a good nyc bagel
Agreed.
I like the bagel store if you want to if you do a bagel crawl again please go and try the original Empire Bagels stand in the Bronx on Westchester Avenue by Pelham bay park. They now have several other locations in Westchester County, but the best still is the one in the box.
"There's bagel in the Lion King?" - Joe. 😆😂
Ha, I love that Utopia’s signature bagel is named after their win from the bagel episode of Buzzfeed’s Worth It! (Had to go back and check that episode to confirm my suspicions.) 😅
Nice unintentional crossover of similar UA-cam food shows that you know there’s venn diagram of viewers.
Damn I was wondering is it a coincidence. Nice surprise ig
I love that «lox» sounds like the norwegian word for salmon «laks». Norway of course, the home of salmon and the worlds biggest exporter of salmon.
Norway is the 'home of salmon'? So Salmon originated in Norway? I don't think so.
Salmon is native to North Atlantic and North Pacific, millions of years ago. I think the country Norway did not exist then, neither did Canada, America, Japan, etc.
