"Rachel Mendelsohn is on a quest to produce bagels boasting maximum chew and density from her Northeast LA home, hand-rolling, boiling, and baking every batch. She pops up throughout the Southland with classic flavors like everything, sesame, and poppyseed alongside more unique offerings such as honey, blueberry, and black tahini/sesame; each bagel is tender yet properly hefty and tastes even better with Mendelsohn’s scratch-made schmear, which bests the standard Philadelphia variety by a mile. Follow Mendy’s Bagels on Instagram for where she’s popping up next or place an order via DM." - Eater Staff
