"The bagel and smoked salmon, an essential New York food group, doesn’t need much improving. But that’s not what Sadelle’s is really about anyway. This place is about $20 French toast so good we don’t even balk at the price, and it’s about a guy who yells “hot bagels” every time there are hot bagels. By the way, when that salmon does come out, it’s on a tower. Making Jewish appetizing sexy seemed like a ridiculous concept, but now that we’re here, there’s no going back." - hillary reinsberg
