First Bagel Blog

Hello. The other week, Ted and I were talking, and we decided to open a bagel shop. Why? I think it's fair to say that we're both bagel enthusiasts and that both of us are distraught by our lack of bagel options in the greater Philadelphia area. Other people, we've reasoned, are probably on the same page as us. Basically, we think there's a good market for it.

Other than the cost of opening an eatery, here are our major obstacles: A) We don't know how to make bagels. B) I insist on selling homemade cream cheese. C) We don't know how to make cream cheese.

That's where this blog comes in. Ted had the idea to document our progress (or lack thereof), so until we're far enough along that an official website is in order, "Ted and Sam's Bagel Blog" will have to do. In addition to our semi-regular blog posts, we'll upload photos and videos of our attempts to master the art of bagel making.*

If you're reading this blog and you have a great bagel recipe or know of a great bagel place, please drop us a line. Do you have anything to add, Ted?

Byeeeeeeeeee.


*Did you know that you're supposed to boil them?! Me either.
