Hank’s Bagel Expands to a Much Larger Sherman Oaks Location | Eater LA

"A surprise Valley hit that opened late last year in Burbank, Hank’s Bagels quietly launched as a mostly takeaway spot for hand-rolled bagels served with schmear or as sandwiches and has quickly cemented itself in the Los Angeles bagel conversation. Owner Trevor Faris (formerly of the Artisanal Brewers Collective) says he’s expanding to keep up with demand after Valley dwellers frequently packed the scant 600-square-foot Burbank space and it’s not unusual for the shop to run out of inventory by 11 a.m. on weekends. The new Sherman Oaks address at 13545 Ventura Boulevard (the BLVD Kitchen location next to Boneyard Bistro) will be a much larger, roughly 3,000-square-foot site that will initially be taken up by production and takeaway so the team can bake lots more bagels; the plan is to take occupancy next month, increase production within about a month, and eventually open it as a fully outfitted second location with seating and possible new menu items, including house-smoked meats." - Farley Elliott
