I'm so enamored with this series, being able to share a slice of culture which is so important to our food journey! This series filled a huge void left in my life with the tragic loss of Anthony Bourdain. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
As someone who was born and raised in West Texas, I have only heard of a bagel and lox sandwich in passing. This video was awesome and really informative. I can't wait to try my first proper bagel and lox sandwich.
GOD! My mouth is watering right now. I love bagels and cold salmon fillet, and it doesn't get anymore authentic than this. The atmosphere of the establishment and Phil's devotion and enthusiasm to his work.
My favourite kind of sandwich. I love this series, the quality is so amazing. I hope that when you finished the sandwiches, that you start a series like this on another topic!
I really love how you delve into the history of the food you make because it makes me have a much deeper appreciation and understand why homemade might just be the way to go! I can’t wait to do this, thank you for the inspiration!!
Mike - as a girl whose parents got married in the morning so they could serve bagels and lox, and who also always loved the first bagel to break her fast - this video made my day! Thank you for showing me I can cure salmon at home!
damn mike, i admire the amount of work you put into making everything from scratch in these videos! that sandwich looks amazing...congrats man, love from argentina
I love your videos because you combine the original way of making the ingredients and you add the history with it. Simple, I love food, I love history!❤️ Thank you!
This is the best series. Such important staple items, things that seem so easy to buy and readily available but I LOVE how you make it all from scratch and do your best to give some history! Now I have sourdough, bagels, pastrami and lox on my list of things to make (I love experimenting in the kitchen) because you've made it look somewhat achievable from scratch!! Amazing original content, well done!!
You will break my heart into millions of pieces if you stop these series. Genuinely you are the best youtuber on this platform. And I've watch alot of cooking channels. Greetings from Bulgaria
well I want you to know that if I stop this series, this type of content will certainly not stop. I'm changed forever and I can't go backwarrds at this point. Sometimes you do have to switch up the content a bit to get inspired
Bagels have their root in parts of Poland, specifically in Krakow. If you ever get to visit there, they have an amazing place run by an American in the Jewish quarter called "Bagelmama" and he has New York City style bagels. Also found on the streets in carts sold all around the city, using a similar dough to the bagel, is something called an "obwarzanek" From Wikipedia: it is a "braided ring-shaped bread that is boiled and sprinkled with salt, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, etc., before being baked."
I was in Krakow like 2 months ago and tried to go to Bagelmama but they were closed while they were remaking their menu. I may or may not have shed a few tears.
Greetings from Poland! :-) What a surprise with that story/history of bagels coming from Poland. I cook for quite some time and write about food here in Poland and never heard that famous NY bagels have polish background.
We made these with smoked salmon at home like all the time when I was younger... never knew how rich the history of the sandwich was! Thanks for the vid
My father was a bagel baker from the 30s till the 70s. He was a board member of the N.Y. Bagel Baker ' s Union. Congratulations you are doing it really close to the way he did it back then. Phil is the real deal, just like my father's bakery.
WOW oh WOW!!! Brilliantly done, as usual. Thank you for giving me the confidence to try this amazing recipe and for sharing your technique. Love, love, love your life's story...God bless you and your family!
From Germany: I find it quite interesting how german words changed around the world, or even where invented. In south Brazil for example the german descendants call jelly "schmier" which is the german term of pass something on to the bread. Here Lox caught my attention because it's pronounced equally to the German Lachs, that just stands for salmon. Just discovered your channel today thanks to the YT algorithm, finishing season 1 now and I am fkng inspired!
Wow. Fantastic job Mike. We don't think we've seen such a great looking NY bagel made at home. We met and hit it off over a conversation about bagels. The subject is close to our heart. Thanks again for a great video.
Wow that is the Best Video ever on Bagels and Lox Thank you ❤️👍🏼👍🏼Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️I miss New York I miss my Bagel and Lox You made it perfectly 🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🤗🤗🤗👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hey this is really awesome! - I haven't watched your channel for a few years, and It's gotten really good! - The idea of filming a certain dish outside, and then coming home and making your own version is superb! Very inspiring :)
These bagels are amazing (not to mention the also spot-on lox, and shmear)! I don't have a stand mixer, so had to go old school and knead by hand; 15mins is right on. Damn! Not even hard to make, relative to other breads. So much love for this video!
I am Scandanavian and live on Canada's Westcoast. I never heard of tomato, red onion and capers on a Lox and Cream Cheese bagel. It has always been dill, cream cheese and lox. But, l love the punch of red onion and the saltiness of capers - can't wait to try this.
This video means a lot to me!! I am from California, living in Ukraine now. No bagels here, and Philadelphia cream cheese is expensive. Walking through all the steps to make everything from scratch is awesome! Thank so much! No one here in Ukraine has had a bagel before! :)
I love this series man keep the good work and you should look up "sandwich de potito" it literally means butt sandwich and its very famous in chile were I live
I forgot to add that its made with a chilean bread called "marraqueta" others call it french bread but as far as I know its only made on chile maybe is jut the shape of it idk
This sandwich makes me so happy! I know what its like to fast as a kid, and then eating something delicious to break the fast is sublime. Enjoyed the video through and through. 💚💚
Hey mike, is there any way you could use the overnight method to develope the gluten? For all of use who don’t have a stand mixer. Absolutely love how convenient that recipe is.
As in Jim Lahey’s no knead method. It’s has been making the rounds on the UA-cam cooking channels. Been using it for focaccia and pizza dough, which was traditionally needs a lot of time with the bread hook
The Philadelphia monopoly is a terrible shame... Unfortunate that so many people grow up attached to it when it isn't particularly good (I find it too sweet myself). Here we have a few brands thankfully that distribute better stuff (Liberte).
Thank you! My favorite sandwich in the universe. I can only buy it in chain places here where I have to explain every single time to put the capers IN the cream cheese or they roll off. My heart sang to see that sandwich build with the capers in the right place. Now I have to try these at home.
A perfect video. A glorious sandwich. Of all the series, this one (besides the falafel which I've already made...yum) is one I can really see myself creating entirely from scratch! Thank you for all the history and the delightful personal anecdotes! I love this series.
I love how much effort and love goes into you guys videos. I also love when you meet people who cook a certain thing for a living! My favorite cooking channel/show ❤
The way you perfect your craft just makes me want to perfect my craft even more than I should. And literally every dish you make looks FIRE. Don't think I've ever had food that looks as good as what you make
This was posted over 1 hour before the premiere Looks like a bagel from the Bagel Hole on 7th Ave. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't go down there and interview Phil to learn the secret to a proper Bagel (High Gluten flour, Malt as the sweetener, let it rise very slowly (at least a full day) in a retarder, boil fully until they surface.. the baking is the easy part)... could be their Lox as well but cannot tell.. If those greenish things are Capers Woohoo.. bring on the salty (go all the way and get belly lox).. Red onions are 'good' but using the onions from Pickled Herring in cream sauce after its in the fridge for a week ins mind blowing..
@@LifebyMikeG Worked the night shift in a bagel bakery in Canarsie when I was in HS (many many years ago..) Phil makes the best bagels around but there is room for improvement... ...
@@slimetime4668 It is almost offensive to have a bagel that's not perfect. It's not snobby. I live in a place where the bagels aren't even worth buying and so I don't.
Oh man, great bagels and spread. I want one now, 9:00pm, and not a Jewish deli for a hundred miles. I gotta stop watching you I can't stand not having a bagel sandwich...NOW!
OK, it's 8:45am and I just got back from having the best bagel, lox and cream cheese sandwich I've ever tasted. I had to go to a bagel shop and asked them to toast my bagel twice cause they just heat it up otherwise, then homemade cream cheese and the classic tomato and red onion...damn I getting hungry again.
I think people are equally interested in the little segments in and around New York. Such a cool city and you clearly know it very well. Love this bagel!
Phil's bagels seemed dry inside. The inside of your bagels is more what I like. Fatty Salmon is best. I use pillow cases for draining and making cheese.
Thanks. Love the from beginning to end of all your videos. Love seeing how things develop. Love that you show that we sometimes have to improvise when things go awry
That is the finest lox and bagel I have ever seen. I like all of the ingredients. Thank You Sir. God Bless. Also you have some knife skills, beautiful slices of salmon.
@Ann Capers grow on Caper Bushes (also called Flinders Rose)... I don't think you should eat any part of the Dogwood (although I think the bark has been used medicinally throughout history)... the berries of some varieties of Dogwood are toxic... better not risk it.
So, I've been eating Gravlax sandwhiches for a while for healthy eating purposes. I personally recommend the average person to just go ahead and buy Farm Raised Salmon, and make the Gravlax, but making the bagels from scratch and the Cream cheese is not worth it. I'd skip that, because in my personal opinion and my family agrees, they're so bland tasting, ur better off just buying those from the store, it won't really make a difference as far as quality is concerned. I'd say that, yeah you have more control over the ingredients, but really, u can just put on the add-ons later. Ur definitely gonna need salt and lemon juice just cus the sandwhich itself is very bland. Am I calling this youtuber a liar? Absolutely not, I'm just talking about my experience, my families experience, and honestly you can go about it either way you'd like. Me personally, I add Chalula Hot Sauce to my Gravlax, cus I'm Mexican American, I use the Gravlax to make Tacos more than I do bagels. Same ingredients, cept all on a corn tortilla. Do I think that my Mexicanized version of this dish is better, absolutely, the flavors of mine blows this traditional New York one out of the water. It is a personal preference, but there is no debate, the Mexicanized version I've made is more explosive, and if you really want the version I made at home, I add pickeled jalepenos, salsa verde and one long green chili under it all, and my goodness, that will just set you ablaze man, it really will. I am Jewish Hispanic, and while I don't follow my Jewish Heritage, I can proudly call the creation a mix, just like myself. Enjoy!
Live just outside DC. Worked as a bagel baker thru high school. Owner started in NYC then moved to Baltimore then opened his shop in Rockville. Miss that place.
For the Europeans here: 1 packet active dried yeast = 17g fresh yeast 8 cups of flour = 1024g 20g of salt 3 tbsp of sweetener (malt, honey or maple syrup) 55% hydration = 563ml of water 20 minutes in mixer or until smooth Form the dough and rest for 24 hrs Thank you Josh, looking forward to try this out shortly.
I just moved out of New York (born and raised) about a year ago with my parents, and this really hits home. Actually gonna start making bagels right now haha. Thanks Michael!
love this video if you press the capers into the smear right after you spread it they don't fall out. you can then put everything else on top. I am definitely going to be making my own lox your way next time. Thanks
it's been fun to nail down the format. I feel like I can't stop pushing it to the next level, it's a bit of an issue... I guess that's call creativity, it takes over your brain sometimes.
Congratulations, I just saw your video of the bagel sandwich. I am giving you 10/10. Very nice presentation. I am from Puerto Rico, and the 1 st of January 2020 on your behalf, I will be serving this sandwich to my family as part of a breakfast brunch. You are very good. Hope you have a very healthy year, lots of success. I’ll be following in 2020. Good luck!
It keeps getting better man! Awesome work. Can't wait for episode 12. Would love to see the Classic Bauru Sandwich from Brazil. It's a super simple but delicious sandwich I used to eat back home. Hugs from Amsterdam!
I never knew other folks would eat Lachs as a sandwich- growing up every holiday included our families lachs treat: Kaiser roll + unsalted butter + Camembert + sweet onion + Lachs 😋 the tradition continued in my household- I grew up in Germany but we are Austrians - so excited to have found you on UA-cam- I’m binge watching 😆👍
Excellent instructions and very entertaining. The 55% hydration mentioned in the video makes sense. The recipe in the bread book, though, has 4.5 cups of water to 8 cups of flour, which is more than 100%. I guess 2.5 cups of water is more like it.
Never stop this series

By far my most favourite show on UA-cam. An open faced sandiwch from Denmark, or some other scandinavian/nordic sandwich would be cool to see.

This is one of the best series on the internet. The history and culture behind each sandwich is so impressive.
Easily one of the greatest sandwiches of all time. Loving the series.
Best Show Ever! As a former city girl, I adored this show, I am a bagel and lox lover.
This has to be one my most favorite videos on the entire internet. Good job.
Best food content on UA-cam, you've really nailed the format, the execution and the topic here.
the history part is really interesting! thank you for that.
The amount of dedication he has to creating food is absolutely incredible. So much respect
Bagel, lox, sprouts, cream cheese, thin slices red onion, and capers.
One of the best combinations of food ever created, in my opinion.
Steve Svensson oh hell yeah - it’s my breakfast almost every day
Your mom's box taste pretty good too.

I absolutely ADORE your channel. It brings me so much peace and joy. Thank you for existing!!
Yess!! This takes me back to baking college, I was shaping and boiling bagels all the time! Thanks so much for the awesome video.

Live just outside DC. Worked as a bagel baker thru high school. Owner started in NYC then moved to Baltimore then opened his shop in Rockville. Miss that place.
I know you made your boohbah proud with this episode!
wow! great story, presentation, and off scratch ! Thank you!
Montréal bagels are better
As much as it says it in the first seconds of the video, I still gotta weigh in, they are better.
For the Europeans here:
1 packet active dried yeast = 17g fresh yeast
8 cups of flour = 1024g
20g of salt
3 tbsp of sweetener (malt, honey or maple syrup)
55% hydration = 563ml of water
20 minutes in mixer or until smooth
Form the dough and rest for 24 hrs
Thank you Josh, looking forward to try this out shortly.
On his handbook he wrote wrongly. The amount of water he wrote is 4 1/4 cups. Which is almost 100% hydration..
@@vincent2820 found out the hard way that it was way too much water
I just moved out of New York (born and raised) about a year ago with my parents, and this really hits home. Actually gonna start making bagels right now haha. Thanks Michael!
love this video if you press the capers into the smear right after you spread it they don't fall out. you can then put everything else on top. I am definitely going to be making my own lox your way next time. Thanks
Dude. This series is so good. You really hit a stride with this. Please don't stop.
I'm TRULY learning a lot stop your program I know I am going through the oldest and coming across a lot of great ideas and techniques
This series just keeps getting better and better. I love it!
it's been fun to nail down the format. I feel like I can't stop pushing it to the next level, it's a bit of an issue... I guess that's call creativity, it takes over your brain sometimes.
I completely understand and I can see the passion and hard work with every episode. Keep up the good work. I can't wait for the next one.
These videos are so well made man. Loving this series! I’m actually fasting today and I’m gonna break it tonight with this bad boy.
epic! thats the way to do it
THIS IS PROBABLY YOUR BEST VID EVER!! ALL GOOD.
thanks, I'm always trying to improve, but the sandwich series has been a fun journey
@@LifebyMikeG Thanks very much for your reply. I'm honored!! Looking forward to more great sammiches from your channel.
Every Christmas and Easter morning....Bagels and Lox. Great video! Thanks so much!
Congratulations, I just saw your video of the bagel sandwich.
I am giving you 10/10. Very nice presentation.
I am from Puerto Rico, and the 1 st of January 2020 on your behalf, I will be serving this sandwich to my family as part of a breakfast brunch.
You are very good. Hope you have a very healthy year, lots of success. I’ll be following in 2020. Good luck!
It keeps getting better man! Awesome work. Can't wait for episode 12. Would love to see the Classic Bauru Sandwich from Brazil. It's a super simple but delicious sandwich I used to eat back home. Hugs from Amsterdam!
I never knew other folks would eat Lachs as a sandwich- growing up every holiday included our families lachs treat: Kaiser roll + unsalted butter + Camembert + sweet onion + Lachs 😋 the tradition continued in my household- I grew up in Germany but we are Austrians - so excited to have found you on UA-cam- I’m binge watching 😆👍
Excellent instructions and very entertaining. The 55% hydration mentioned in the video makes sense. The recipe in the bread book, though, has 4.5 cups of water to 8 cups of flour, which is more than 100%. I guess 2.5 cups of water is more like it.
I followed the recipe exactly. There was way too much water. Try to salvage it but we will see.
