I dropped in for lunch at Myer’s Bagel Bakery in Burlington, Vermont. Although it’s not far from home, I hadn’t really known much about it until I saw it featured on Travel Channel’s “Man v. Food” (http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/man-v-food/episode-6-season-2/burlington-vt/1086929/). Myer’s has “been bringing Montreal-style bagels since 1996.” It had a casual ambiance and provided a great environment to eat in.
The bagels are made in a wood-fired oven and are cooked beautifully. They are smoky and crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. I ordered the 377 which included smoked brisket, Horseradish mayo, lettuce, red onions and sprouts on a “rotating tap beer bagel” which is made with beers from local breweries. The bagel was incredibly smoky and crunchy with a great taste. The smoked brisket was very nice and fell apart in your mouth. It was seasoned beautifully and had the right amount of salt. The horseradish mayo added a little kick to the sandwich which was nice. The whole sandwich was salted perfectly. The sprouts added a good pop to the sandwich and the veggies were all fresh which made it even better. The sandwich was amazing overall with nothing to complain about accept it being gone too soon.
I plan to go to Myer’s Bagel Bakery many more times and would suggest it to anybody who gets the chance.
