Best Bagel 

New York Bakery and Delicatessen

New York Bakery and Delicatessen
7016 Troost
816-523-0432
The New York Bakery and Delicatessen, which has been dishing out unlikely treats such as tongue sandwiches since 1905, is the only place in Kansas City to get an unassimilated bagel. The bagels here are soft and eggy, like challah bread with a hole in the middle. They're not starchy or dense, but light and flavorful. Cream cheese is neither spread nor shmeared; it's cut from a substantial block and layered on in thick slabs. Just don't expect to find out what makes these bagels different from others in town. The answer is likely to be, "You want to make bagels? Look in the cookbook!" Even the manager is kept in the dark as to the exact recipe; it's passed from one generation to the next and doesn't leave the bakery.

What they call "bagels" at the New York delicatessen are actually round rolls. They are, just as the reviewer notes, more like a type of Challah bread than a bagel. Bagels need to be boiled before they are baked, and the ones served at this place are not. The boiling gives a bagel its distinctive crust and texture. The only thing the rolls they serve at this deli have in common with a bagel is their shape, and this is a common trick that is used to fool people who do not know what a real bagel is like. These rolls would never be considered a "bagel" in NYC, and they shouldn't be considered a bagel in KC either.
