The Great Bagel Rivalry
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 кві 2018
- There’s no food as synonymous with New York as the bagel-soft, chewy, doughy, with a generous schmear. But one city is giving the Empire State a run for its money. Welcome to Montreal, Canada, where the bagels are a little crispier, a little sweeter, but no less iconic. Still, the question stands: which bagel reigns supreme? We hit up New York’s legendary H&H Midtown East and Montreal’s famous St-Viateur to get to the bottom of the battle of the bagels.

What a sad cream cheese scoop

Its because they were using Philly. That is a brand to be avoided in Montreal. Liberte makes a tangier, more flavourful, and more spreadable/dippable product.
To be honest if its been in the fridge it could be really hard to spread

I remember Anthony Bourdain on one of his trips to Montreal scoffing at Montreal bagels. Then he tried one and he turned to the guy that brought him and said, "I hate you" because he liked it so much.
He admitted that he preferred the New York bagel but did have to say that the Montreal bagel was really good.

You cannot discuss bagels without mentioning their place of origin: Kraków, Poland. Bagels were originally made by Jewish communities in Kraków and they are still widely sold from street carts all around town for around 1zł (0.3$) a piece. Kraków's bagels (or "obwarzanek", as they are widely known in Polish) have the status of a regional protected food of European Union and are one of the symbols of the city. Kraków's bagels are a little bit wider and harder than the American variant, and tend to be eaten solo, mostly as a quick snack by frugal students moving from lecture to lecture within the city. Nevertheless, they are a quality in their own right.
True^^^. and I dont think that is a disputed fact if you go to New York. They acknowledge the origins of bagels from Poland. After all, it was the Jewish immigrants and refugees that brought about the bagel boom in NY. :) I dont know much about the bagel culture and craze in Montreal, but i heard they were tasty as well.
That's nice to hear. I have tried the Montreal version, and I liked it. Trying the NY version is still ahead of me :)
Kraków has no Jews so I doubt bagels are all that common there.
Kraków for hundreds of years used to be 25% Jewish, and it currently hosts one of the largest annual Jewish Culture Festivals in the world.
im jewish american and just wasin europe for 1 year when i visitedPOLANDDAMN there bagels are pure bliss honestly just so convient and practical to snack on and very filling
2:50 JESUS LOOK AT ALL THAT LOX. Bagel stores around here always skimp on the lox.
It is New York.
Where i live that bagel would be 30$
Even in New York, you're still paying a pretty penny for that much Lox. Most bagel shops that charge reasonable prices don't give you nearly that much.
@@ThoolooExpress I imagine Katz's would be outrageously expensive
Are bagels like donuts but without the frosting?
I'm very sorry but I still haven't tasted any bagels in my life.
Sakata Gintoki no
They're more like bread, taste wise, but with a different texture. Surprisingly hard to explain but you should definitely try one!
It’s literally just a round smooth baguette. It’s delicious!
i feel like bagels suck
It tastes like cardboard mix with a side of cardboard.

Idk the bagels look good
i watch this everytime i have something sweet LOL
Yes
The real shame is that Montréal's Liberté dairy was bought off and they stopped producing their cream cheese a year ago. The real Montréal bagel experience was complete with it's own local cream cheese, Liberté. Phily just doesn't cut it.
Wish I hadn't seen a bagel get toasted near the end.
Both styles are fine. The best bagel can be found at your local place that puts in the effort to make them properly. The big catch is that you have to eat it within an hour of it coming out of the oven when it's in peak condition. That's pretty much the reason why the "best" bagels are found in large metropolitan areas like NYC and Montreal - They sell very high volumes, so there's a good chance that you're getting a fresh bagel.
I would say Montreal bagels age a bit better
Mcdonalds bagel reign suprems
Competition with food is always good, it keeps any one side from resting on it's laurels and makes sure they keep innovating.
This applies to a lot of other things as well.

1:51 Tbh New York bagels look like plastic
Egg yeah but they taste good
Init
North Jersey bagels are much better believe me
It's almost like gluten is a polymer.
It's the cold lighting, NYC bagel shops don't care about having warm light to make the food look good, it's a grab and go to work food.
Ain't nothing better than walking into st-viateur or fairmount and walking out with a dozen of freshly-baked, still warm montreal bagels. It's literally impossible to get back home without a couple missing out of the bag on the way.
Especially during winters! Warm Montreal bagels during winter is unbeatable

Even if they give me a kilo of salmon i would be very happy
But there is alot of cream cheese
Most of the times they put too much cream cheese
too much cream cheese IMO

matt shine no such thing
It's probably shit farmed salmon.
You could definitely get a bagel like that in Montreal if you went somewhere else. There are lots of great bagel places. I’ve never had a New York bagel but I always loved bagels here and I didn’t know they were famous.
Was this the bakery that was on Food Factory once?

Les meilleurs bagels c'est au St-Viateur 😋!
Max Oui!
Max Bien Sûr!!!!!
I'm Canadian but I have no idea what you dudes saying
Ta raison
Oui! Les bagels à New York regarde si artificel et sucré. Mais au Montréal, plus précisement au St-Viateur, ils sont naturel et fait par la main. C'est peut-être ce qui les rend si bons, parce que ils est fait avec beaucoup de patience et amour. :)
Honey water.
Oh look.
Adding sugar makes people like them more.
Who knew?
lohphat yeah I was thinking the same thing.
lohphat the added sweetness is VERY mild and subtle, but provides a delicious contrast to the salty cream cheese and lox that one would often top it with. New York bagels are good but just way too doughy.
They aren't that sweet. Really, it's a very slight sweetness, and only on the bagel's crust.
MSG : hold my beer
Bintang GA 1 month late but msg is salt?
It's soooo good. We went there while visiting and they are by far the best bagels I've ever had. We watched the bagel be made and it was so cool
Doing it your self seems more fancy, like. Ripping open a freshly made bagel
both are great in their own respects. even as a native New Yorker and having eaten bagels all over Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan, i can honestly say that, personally, i don’t think they can even be compared.

but there is no core-
I got lost one time and I saw the St-Viateur shop across the street and I just bought a bagel before finding my way lol
“Everything’s better with cream cheese”
Me: *_spreads cream cheese on my test papers_*
Now I want one!
Bruh they just yeet the bagels after they’re done cooking 😂😂😂
That's how we do it in Montreal. Montreal Bagels are best eaten just as they are. I NEVER put anything on them, they don't need it.
At the beginning you said “there is someplace that could rock New York and it’s bagels to the core” but they don’t have cores... it’s a circle with a whole in the middle
0:48 lol i was at that store last October, and got some amazing bagels
That was a really delicious video I'll go with Montreal! You're such a great inspiration for my channel. Keep it up :)
Around The Good World and you get cream cheese and you can bring it home
That's really sweet!
New York style is the most common bagel and available in many cities and towns, but where can I try good Montreal bagels outside of Montreal?
Israel?
Paelorian Honestly go to Montreal to visit because it's a beautiful city and eat a bagel while you're there!
roof pizza Montreal’s recipe is from Poland but is what a bit modified.
No where really. In MTL we only get them in bagel shops, u cant get them at any grocery store.
Actually you can, St Viateur bagels are sold in many supermarkets. But really it is best to go the bagel shops where it is hot from the oven!
my bagel shop opens at 5 and it's across the street from my CO-OP Jackson Heights! Ya. I dream at night of that bagel shop!
I went to a bagel shop yesterday in Montreal visiting some friends. It’s real good!
H&H Midtown sounds like the name of a bank.
Id go montreal so i don't have to cross the border lol
Your Canadian? I’m Canadian too!
We don't have Bagels in my country but my dad loves Bagels. So I make them for him at home. Should try the Honey-Water next time ☺️

I was born in Montreal and I always keep talking shit about how it seems to have very little places that are worthwhile in terms of food. I just recently discovered Tsukuyomi, one of the best ramen restaurants near st-laurent, candylabs, a place in McGill that makes hard candy right in front of you, and now I absolutely have to try these bagels. Give Montreal’s food treasures more damn recognition!
Nero Crescendo what? Montreal has some of the best food in the world! Are you really from Montreal of some guy from Laval that just says he’s from Montreal
Nero Crescendo you need to try Cantinho Express, its on boulevard Henri-bourassa. Its a Portuguese fast food type place and its AMAZING!
The second guy definitely loves the Montreal bagels. Just the way he's talking I can tell
“I don’t care for the New York bagels and neither does my family”
We weren't asking but okay damn.
Not only are their bagels delicious, but St-Viateur Bagel is also open 24/7, so you can stumble in after a night of partying and order some bagels. Right out of the oven, crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Perfection!
New Yorkers are crazy about their bagels, and they do have the great cream cheese and smoked salmon combo.
But if you want to have a great bagel on its own, or with some butter or cream cheese, go to Montreal or Istanbul. Sesame bagels in New York don't come close to those two city's sesame bagels.
Me: Grab a do(ugh)nut. "This is a good bagel."
Every state has their weird rivalry’s
👌
Born and raised in Montreal. I’ve had New York bagels and I can sorta see the appeal. But St. Viateur bagels are the best thing ever. Hands down.
I'm a baker at a Canadian bagel shop in Ontario that makes Montreal style bagels so I personally hand roll dough and work in a similar wood burning oven however we all have a deli side that makes custom cream cheese and makes sandwiches with the bagels aswell
Team Montreal style bagels for the win lol
So it's kinda best of both worlds at my work, u could walk up and order a dozen of un cut bagels or get a sandwich.
First time trying a wood fired roasted Montreal style bagle blew my mind. I was only familiar with the grocery store big fat and fluffy NY style that is everywhere and should try a fresh made NY bagel which is ard to find.
As a New Yorker you got to get locks, capers, scallion cream cheese, tomatoes and onion and you got yourself heaven
I'm literally eating New York bagel rn
My condolences.
2 types of people:
- the ones who prefer Montreal bagels
- the ones who haven't yet tried Montreal bagels
@Leopold Cartier-Raymond ofc. I don't even live in Montreal so it's not local partisanship on my part, it's just that you taste it and everything becomes clear
"...everything is better with cream cheese"
DAVID SEYMOUR HAS BEEN TRIGGERED AND LEFT THE CHAT
I'm so happy they did this with st.viateur instead of fairmont
I grew up in Toronto where both varieties are widely available (there isn’t really a Toronto-specific variant). The very slight sweetness of the Montreal bagel provides a delicious contrast to salty cream cheese. Heavenly. New York bagels are perhaps more filling, but overly chewy and crumbly. One thing I notice is that the quality of NY-style bagels vary much more from bakery to bakery than MTL bagels, I guess because it is the more common variety.
I'm literally 22 minutes away from my work place and H&H. hmmm, should I go get me a bagel with cream cheese and salmon?
Erick Morales you should leave that annoying owner alone and come eat at st viateur bagel
Yessss because he will pay for a flight just to get a damn bagel
