"The new New York–style bagel shop in Midtown comes from New Jersey-born Hector Sanchez, who has over 40 years of experience in the bagel business. Sanchez serves up real-deal hand-rolled bagels plus fried Taylor ham (or pork roll, depending on who you ask) breakfast sandwiches. Sanchez uses high-gluten flour to give his bagels proper elasticity, then adds sugar, yeast, and water before leaving them to proof overnight, and then boiled fresh for optimal chewiness" - Delia Jo Ramsey
