Does Dallas have decent bagels? We discuss.
East Dallas, for all of its appeal, is hardly a hotbed of East Coast culture. So, why, suddenly, are there five bagel shops — each claiming to be part of some sort of mystical, holy grail of New York City bagel-ness — all within a 10- or 15-minute radius? And this doesn’t include the assortment of supermarkets, chains, semi-chains and faux delis that also sell bagels.
The first thing to understand about the influx of bagels in Dallas since the pandemic is that for the past three decades it was almost impossible to buy a real bagel in Dallas. Yes, some places sold bagels, but the experience can best be summed up by the time I found a Band-Aid in one that came from a very popular place that used to be on Lovers Lane. Best yet, the owner was livid when it was brought to his attention, Band-Aid, bagel and all.
So, for them, my credentials: I’ve eaten bagels all my life, including in New York and Montreal. I’ve baked bagels at home because there was no other way to get anything approaching the real thing in Dallas. And I’ve written about bagels . Instead, it has much to do with how the restaurant business works these days, says Leslie Brenner, a restaurant consultant and former restaurant critic forFirst, she says, the barrier to entry is low: a bagel shop doesn’t cost as much to open and run as a traditional restaurant or even an artisan bakery. The ingredients are comparatively inexpensive, rents are lower, the margins are comparatively high and there’s no need to keep expensive inventory like beef or fresh fish.
