Encore: Finding — or making — the best bagels in and around Vermont

Mikaela Lefrak

In this encore rebroadcast, host Mikaela Lefrak talks with local bagel makers about the tricks of their trade, and hears from listeners about the best bagels in our region.

Bagel maker Sam Ung rolls dough into a bagel in the basement of Ess-a-Bagel, Thursday, May 26, 2016, in New York. Ess-a-Bagel's holes are small but the bagels are big. The large size is somewhat of an accident after the family found a baker who shared his recipe, COO Melanie Frost said. "They put them in the oven and for whatever reason they rose and became these huge bagels, but they worked," she said. The word "essen" is German for "to eat." (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
