Seattle Metropolitan Magazine’s online Web site feature, the “Nosh Pit,” recently conducted a blind tasting of bagels at restaurants invited from all around the city.
Mercer Island’s Stopsky’s Delicatessen was awarded the first place winner for their onion bagel.
The critic wrote, “The cooked onion and the wheat flavor made this a sophisticated favorite of the bunch — this tastes like an adult food, it’s so flavorful and interesting. Serious thought is clearly given to its mouthfeel. Texture is lightly chewy on the inside and pleasingly firm on the outside without being tough.”
Stopsky’s is open at 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. daily, serving breakfast and lunch.
