"Renowned biscuit maker Nicole Jones, an owner and chef at Stomping Ground, has teamed up with self-taught baker Chad Breckinridge to move his Bagel Uprising brand into a space next-door to her booming Southern cafe. The partners have signed a lease to put a bagel shop in a building (2307A Mount Vernon Avenue) that last housed Happy Tart, a gluten-free bakery. Bagel Uprising will have a conveyor oven that offers consistent heat without the need to open and close it all day. An outdoor seating area will help relieve the small space inside. Breckinridge provides a traditional bagel recipe with five ingredients: flour, yeast, salt, brown sugar, and malt extract. His rounds come out to about 4 ounces each." - Gabe Hiatt
