| A Fair Amount of "Chew"! |
Imagine a food truck on the corner of one of the busiest street in Bucharest, Romania, selling New York Bagels. Really? Holy Bagels! From the hills of the Transylvania to southern Romania's hub in Bucharest there was not a bagel to be found and so our story begins....
A team of Romanian entrepreneurs looking to add bagels as a novelty menu item to round out their breakfast and lunch choices chose CKCA to teach everything bagels and bialys to boot. Entrepreneurs, Alexandru Petrescu and Ioan Rusu intensely researched our country’s finest bagel bakeries and culinary schools and with CKCA as their training ground we are making bagel history in Romania. It was especially exciting for CKCA to be a contributor to Romanian Culinary history with much of our Kosher community's roots stemming from Eastern Europe.
BAGEL JOURNEY IN NYC...
Upon
arrival to the United States, our Romanian friends
visited and sampled bagels at many of New York's famous eateries and
markets to determine the qualities they favored the most. They decided
that a crust of medium thickness and good amount of “chew”, along with
whole grain options would be most
appealing for the launch of their signature bagels.
BAGEL BOOTCAMP BEGINS...

| Bialy Blast! |
Lynn
Kutner, our resident expert on all things
bread, ran an intense session, tackling bagel and
bialy making from start to finish. Sweating through four hours of rolling, baking and tasting, Alexandru and Loan were
thrilled with their new skills and left for home with a flavorful variety of samples
to take home and the plan to launch Bucharest’s bagel frenzy.
We at CKCA wish Alexandru and Loan the best of luck with their bagel adventure and we will surely keep you posted on their progress.
