"You Don't Have To Be A Celebrity to Enjoy Davidovich Bagels"- Maria Balinska

"My favorite Bagels are from Davidovich Bakery in Queens. They are a wholesaler that supplies many delis in Manhattan, including Whole Foods and Barzini's on the Upper West Side. The bagels are hand rolled, not ginormous (as too many bagels are these days), crunchy and chewy, and with that savory sweetness that makes you want a second bagel (although you shouldn't). I am a bagel purist-it's plain, sesame, and poppy for me!" -Maria Balinska, widely regarded as the foremost Bagel Expert in the World, and author of The Bagel: The Surprise History of a Modest Bread http://bit.ly/2uvQtFG
