Wood-fired bagels, creative schmears, and inventive deli fare



























"A popular cafe known for its wood-fired bagels and creative schmears, expanding to a new location at National Landing’s Water Park food hall." - Tierney Plumb

"This rapidly expanding wood-fired bagel shop fills its signature product with a handful of unexpected combos — like candied salmon cream cheese or bacon, jalapeños, and potato chips. The fried potato latkes are on point, as are the chocolate babka muffins. And despite some neighborhood pushback, its pink Georgetown store is now here to stay." - Tierney Plumb, Tim Ebner


"I point out that Andrew Dana and Daniela Moreira went on to start the smash-hit bagel shop Call Your Mother in Park View, which has ballooned to 15 locations across the DMV and out to Denver; despite that connection, Timber’s Annapolis location will not be serving Call Your Mother’s buzzy morning bagels." - Tierney Plumb

"The episode takes an emotional turn when Rosenthal films inside his hotel room while enjoying a to-go order from D.C.’s legendary bagel brand Call Your Mother. He Zooms in prolific sitcom writer and dear friend Norman Lear, who ended up passing away a few months later at age 101 on December 5, 2023. Greeting Lear with a “mazel tov,” Rosenthal says “we may not know much but we know about this,” pointing to his bagel and lox in hand. On a serious note, he asks Lear whether he’s optimistic about the state of the U.S., to which he responds: “There’s never been a more concerning time.” In true Lear style, he ends the call by telling a joke. The episode closes out “in memory of Norman.”" - Tierney Plumb

"The popular “Jew-ish” deli and bagel shop starts taking pre-orders soon for annual holiday offerings like its latke platter or raspberry-guava doughnuts. Available for pickup and delivery during regular hours." - Tierney Plumb
