Oh my gosh. This is pumpkin square bagels’ take on the classic New York bacon, egg and cheese. First impressions, not square. Your an idiot. Disappointed. I was promised a square bagel. Yeah, they need to talk to Wendy’s. They do. Cheers man. Oh my gosh. What the hell? Oh my gosh. It’s warm, there’s a little bit of heat from the chorizo. The bagel isn’t, it’s not chewy, it’s soft. But there’s a bounce to it, you know? Chewy in a good way, right? Oh the sauce is just leaking out. I think the sauce is actually cream cheese. It’s kind of melted down. I think that’s a chipotle and avocado cream cheese that they put in there. That’s because of the heat of the bagel and everything inside. It’s sort of melted and it’s become quite saucy. I’ve never had anything like that. No, best bagel I’ve ever had. Two bites in. I inevitably had that question, how good can a bagel be? I mean, New York bagels man. I mean, the answer is… Damn good. First stop, Tompkins Square Bagel. This looks so good. You come into a bagel place and they just have piles of cream cheese like it’s gelato. Some of it even looks like ice cream. Birthday cake cream cheese. Are these all made on site here? How many do you make a day? I would say probably like over a thousand. A thousand bagels a day. So we just loaded up the fillings, took it outside. Thank you very much. He’s looking out for us. He’s better at that than we are. And tucked into some warm, soft, doughy bagels. Yeah. I miss it. Okay, I really want one. I want one now. That bacon, egg and cheese. The bacon, egg and cheese man. Damn it. I mean I forgive it for not being square. I do. If you’re going to call yourself square bagels and you’re handing out… Just regular bagel shaped bagels. They’re made up of it. Americans are kind of weird about shapes anyway. Madison Square Garden, literally a circle. Flat iron building. I mean it is in the shape of an iron. But it’s not flat, it’s like really tall. It’s super 3D. Both of the other examples were just in the name of squares. Their locations. Okay, fair enough. Why are we not doing this in the UK? Because it seems simple. When it’s rolled, it’s boiled and then it’s baked. Oh, yeah. That’s how a bagel’s made. That’s how it’s made. And they’re made in a circular shape so when they were sold on the street, it could be put on poles or string. You have bagel sellers who walk around with them. Are you serious? Yeah, it’s a carrying mechanism. I thought it was an attempt to like Spaghettio Bread. That’s why… But turns out it was not. You’re an idiot. The Locks Deluxe. Now I must say, branding wise, Surely just call it The Deloxe? Deloxe would have been pretty good. You’ve got a golden opportunity for a portmanteau there. And they’ve just passed up on it. I guess they’re too busy making the bagels themselves. Damn good bagels. Like maybe the best bagels in the world. Look at that. Scallion cream cheese. Everything bagel. Oh and tomato. Salmon and fresh tomato. It’s perfect. It looks like AI has generated a lox of some cream cheese bun. Alright, let’s do it. Let’s do it. Oh man, they just… Wow. A black and white cookie? Thank you very much. Thank you so much. This is incredible by the way, these bagels. Amazing. Best bagels I’ve had in my life. Thank you very much. I love that. They’ve got this locked down. They do. Very good. That’s the perfect salmon and cream cheese bagel. I mean what the hell? I mean what do you say about that? It’s perfect. They know exactly what they’re doing. I literally could come here and just get a different bagel every single day. Be a happy, happy man. And you could get a different one for quite a long time. They’ve basically got a phone book of a menu off there. Dessert bagel. I mean it does look like a dessert. Like looking at that I wouldn’t say we’re looking at a bagel. It’s like an open toast bagel. Oh yeah. Cinnamon. Really cinnamony. Now this is on a French toast bagel. Wow look at that. Look at that bagel. French toast bagel. So kind of done I guess like French toast. Yeah. Bit eggy. Let’s do it. Mate. What the hell. Wow. That’s stunning. It’s like the corner slice on a birthday cake. You know. There’s so much topping. Yeah there is. That’s so generous. That’s insanely good but that’s a lot for breakfast. That is a lot. Wow. Yours is more rich. Mate, Ducky try that. Honestly. You like a sweet bagel. Do you like raisins? He’s going to absolutely love that. That’s dessert. How good is it? That’s a dessert bagel. That’s it. If I was going to come here. If you’re a bit cold. Get the hot bacon, egg and cheese. This one for dessert. If it’s summer or spring you’re not feeling so cold. The locks deluxe. And it always one of these for dessert. Absolutely stunning. Tomkins square bagel despite not being square did not disappoint. Those are the best bagels I’ve ever had. I can’t really fathom how you could improve on that. You guys need to try that. I was too excited for it. I was like I don’t even want the leftovers. I just want to finish filming and then try my own one. Woah. What is in that? Sausage patty, cheese. Chorizo patty. Wow. I’m so excited. Cheers. Cheers. Wow. That’s so good. It’s so good isn’t it? I want another one. I just ate a whole one. I want another one. It’s the best bagel I’ve ever had by like a country mile. Easily. Because we keep doing these things and we go and try it And it is the best thing we’ve ever had and then you can’t recreate it. No. You just can’t make that at home. Stop.

New York is a great city to visit. Round two baby. We have bagel fest winner, two years running. Oh my gosh. Pop up bagels. Says on the sign, not famous, but known. That’s how you want to be in prison. What do you mean? Famous, you’re a target. Known, you’re feared. Okay. That’s what they’re going for. I see. Exactly. I see. This guy’s top dog. It feels like you’ve thought about this too much. It applies to almost everything. This place is quite unique as far as bagels in New York go. Almost all of them are bagel sandwiches. This place is a bit different. Let’s go see. Wow. Oh, it smells good in here. Thank you very much. Bagel me. Wow, it’s actually hot. Wow. Oh my gosh. So, it literally says on the sign there, grip, rip and dip. Fresh bagel. That’s good. Wow. No way. Try that. Cheese puff cream cheese. This is awesome. Okay. Wow. Completely different way of eating bagels, but I love it. It’s cheese on cheese, man. Oh my gosh. It’s cream cheese with cheese puff. The aftertaste is even more cheese puffy. It’s so good. Mate, Luke, try that. Have a little taste. That is incredible. It needs to be shared. When it’s really good. He knows. That is an incredible bagel, Ducky. Mate. Yeah. What’s amazing about that is everything that is glorious and heavenly, About freshly baked bread in a bite. It’s warm and crispy on the outside, spongy, slightly chewy on the inside. And then it’s a whole different thing than what we just ate. Right. I mean, the bagel sandwiches we just had were the best I’ve ever had. But that, how fresh out of the oven that is, Dipped in this like incredible cream cheese. It’s completely unique. So good though. Is there anything else you’d recommend us trying? Okay. Fantastic. Perfect. Miso butter. Wow. He’s literally just served us bagels on a little bagel tray. This is amazing. So literally, the amount of cream cheese you get with each bagel as well. It’s literally like a Ben & Jerry’s tub of cream cheese. When you buy a pot of cream cheese from the grocers, it’s smaller than that. A British person would make that last a month. Oh, 100%. Okay. Scallion cream cheese. This is the classic. There’s something very satisfying about dipping in like that. Okay. The dipping is fun. When you said… It’s really different. You rip and dip. Yeah. I was like, "Is that gonna work?" I mean, the sandwich concept is tried and true. It’s perfected, right? Like why are you gonna mess with that? But this works. The freshly baked nature of the bagels I think is really essential, right? Like it wouldn’t be as good if the bagel was cold. This isn’t cream cheese. This is butter. That is butter. Oh my gosh. Oh wow. Wow. Okay. Okay. Whitefish and trout roe together. Wow. Okay. Wow. And we got more bagels. What’s this one? Is that salted bagel? We should say as well, we didn’t call ahead. We didn’t plan this. Thank you so much for taking good care of us. This is rip and dip. Okay. Alright Josh, shall I just dip for you? Please. Because you are… Feed me. He said apply liberally. Okay. Whitefish, is this whitefish cream cheese? Those are two things I would never put together, but okay, let’s go. How is it? Whoa. A bit of Finding Nemo on here. Don’t say that. Nemo tastes good. Incredibly fishy. That’s one of the fishiest things, yeah. Oh, unbelievable. Damn good. That’s the softest, most delicious, freshly baked bagel I’ve ever had. It’s very hot. Hot bagel. Yeah. It’s really hard to do a woo. What do you mean? My voice kind of breaks and I feel emasculated. You went very high. Woo. The thing is, it’s like a masculine thing they do in the US, but I feel emasculated when I try and do it. Yeah. I mean, you’re definitely going higher. You’re going higher. Do I need to go lower? Why do you sound like a cartoon? Hot bagel. Woo. No. My gosh. Okay, wait. Let me try a middle one. Woo. Yeah, that’s it. How do you do that? Hot bagel. Woo. Yeah. He’s got it. It’s in the projection. Yeah, it’s in the projection. Hot bagel. Woo. Oh, gosh. It’s too high. It’s too high again. Woo. Piercing. My voice is breaking a little bit. Hot bagel. Woo. No, it’s rubbish. I know it’s rubbish. I’m not saying it’s good. I just want to know what I’m doing wrong. So, so good. It’s hard to compare the two. Basically because they’re both so unique, And we just don’t have anything like this in the UK. Oh, wow. Oh, you’ve matched his colour scheme perfectly. Look at him go. He’s got a hat. Okay. I love this. Not famous, but known. It says on your hat. I am wearing this to prison. Okay. No. If you are in New York, yo’ve gotto to come here, try this, try it out. Tomkins Square Bagel too. I’m full of bread. Oh, I’m so happy. I’m full of butter. I’m ready to go and have a nap now. I am also full of confining Nemo’s progeny. Okay, let’s not. Let’s not blame this to Nemo. Okay. Okay.

  1. I love bagels, but don't eat them often due to the calories since my favorite ways are with cream cheese and crispy bacon, or cream cheese and smoked salmon. Prefer plain cream cheese, I just can't do a lot of complex flavors first thing in the morning, same reason I don't care for flavored coffee, just plain cream in it, no sugar or fake sweeteners either.

  2. Tompkins Square Bagel is named after Tompkins Square Park. It’s not that they’re supposed to be square. Lol

  3. I wonder how you feel about "Everything Bagel Seasoning" now. I saw a video a while back where it wasn't used in it's proper context ( I think on potato chips..maybe pringles… which I've never heard of) and you guys were ripping it up. I kept thinking if they had it on a bagel they wouldn't feel that way.

  4. I wanna mention that the bagels are a circle because the type of dough would not cook through properly without burning the edges with the lil piece still in it.Being able to string them up was an added bonus

  5. I feel sooo soory for the poor English -White peoples they don't have enough to eat and have to come to America to eat nor can afford heat their cold n houses/apartments 😢🎉!

  6. 2:35 So, being that the majority of Jews lived in Eastern Europe (USSR), they influenced and were influenced by the kalach, which is a circle or wheel bread or cracker that was sold by the necklace.

    So, yeah. The shape is all about transport for the food vendor to be able to get the product to his/her customers.

    They're also a hand-held snack item that can be eaten with any beverage (ice cold kvass in the summer or a boiling hot tea along with a spoonful of honey or jam in the cold are perfect combos).

  7. New York and jersey have the best bagels I can't speak on Philly cause I haven't had any from there but I'm sure they're good too… but u just can't beat our pizza … bagels… sandwiches and diners

  8. love love love these guys, but as a native NYer, i am sad they didn't come to queens!!! we have the best bagels hands down and are always overlooked

  9. "Hello" from Prince Edward Island, Canada. The best Bagels (and smoked meat) in North America, is in Montreal. I get that your channel is largely based on the worship of all things American, but Montreal is a gastronomic treasure. Toronto, and Vancouver have great food scenes, but Montreal is original, and spectacular. Try the poutine , too.

  10. Is it a UK thing for guys to eat food right behind the first guy? At least eat bite the other side without his saliva on it… cringe!!!

  11. NY bagels are great 🙂 If youre ever in Montreal, aside from poutine, I suggest trying some bagels here too. Really different, denser and so good when fresh.

  12. I love how Josh is embarrassed for Ollie and his constant comments about "Finding Nemo" with the fresh roe. That's not really an American way to look at things, but it's hilarious to watch our fun friends from across the pond.
