It’s a story about a man who developed his own bagel recipe and decided to share them with neighbors when he had extras. The news of the elusive “Jarrett bagel” spread like wildfire and the town demanded a place to buy them. What makes them so special? Jarrett is a man of excess, and his bagels don’t escape that. One bake is not enough; he double bakes. A few seeds will not do; he seeds both sides until it’s coated through and through. But Jarrett is also a man of heart, and food is always 100% better when it’s made with love, so you’d better believe that the passion is infused throughout the bagel. Or is that the good ole West Orange water? Maybe it’s both.
