Pursuing the Perfect Bagel...

Beat A Bagel is an entertaining and slightly educational video series where Evan Jacobson travels to find the most epic NY Style Bagel. It’s not just a piece of white bread–it’s a way of life and the ultimate food for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack time. Enjoy Bagels and Lox at any time during the day, or make an amazing BLT Chicken Salad Sandwich. Maybe you want something simple, yet elegant. Treat yourself to dozens of bagel varieties with a SHMEAR of Cream Cheese, or just toast it with butter. Whatever your needs are, there’s always a bagel created just for you! Evan Jacobson and various guest hosts will demystify all of the love that goes into making bagels and bringing people together. Bagels and music ALWAYS connect people! All episodes are divided into smaller parts for easier digestion…For example, Episode 4 is all about the water and divided into 7 segments, so you don’t have to feel pressured to binge watch it all at once… 

Episodes are always uploaded to YouTube and FaceBook…

For the past 2 years, breadlessinjersey has been working with master video-in-chief, Cha Lee, to bring you a variety of bagel reviews and random reaction videos. I grew up in NEW YORK CITY and have eaten thousands of bagels (not at the same time). When I left NY in 93, I moved south to pursue musical goals, but the bagels were gone. When I relocated to NJ in 2003, my bagel life was restored until 2010. I moved once again to MD, but had a really hard time finding NY Bagels… After watching hundreds of Pizza reviews on Barstool Sports, something clicked: I can search for bagels in the Metro DC area and review them… My friend and drummer extraordinaire, Ian Dylan, wanted to learn about legendary NY Bagels, and Beat A Bagel ® was born. 

Follow me on social and subscribe to my YouTube channel. Tell me about your bagel dreams and show me where to go to avoid being “breadless” as I BEAT A BAGEL!!!

"Bagels, when done correctly, serve as an amazingly versatile comfort food. While people think of bagels to go with their coffee and shmear during the work week, you can treat yourself and friends to a wide variety of flavors at any time: Sesame, Poppy, Onion, Garlic, Egg, Pumpernickel, or Everything. Some places have even branched out to add exotic spices like Za'atar or blend with cheese--Asiago or Cheddar and Jalapeño. If you like fruity flavors, get a blueberry or a classic cinnamon raisin bagel. In addition to creating your own BLC (bagels, lox, and cream cheese ), you can create sandwich options for both lunch and dinner: Tarragon Chicken Salad, Egg Salad, Tunafish, etc. Want to have a little fun with the kids? Decorate your own rainbow bagel; if you're hungry, create a Pizza Bagel...

Enjoy and remember to Beat A Bagel
