***** Nathan’s Famous Coney Island Beef Bagel Dogs.

Here’s the tale, yesterday afternoon I spotted the below pictured $10.99 4 pack of Nathan’s Famous Coney Island Beef Bagel Dogs in the frozen food section of Publix Super Market, 5050 Champion Boulevard, New (Polo Club Shoppes), Boca Raton, Florida 33496, (561) 994-8350 and decided to give the dogs a shot. Just so there is no misunderstanding here, I’ve been eating Nathan’s hot dogs for over 70 years- the twist here, first time eating them wrapped in soft bagel dough, topped with sesame seeds, garlic, onions, poppy seeds, and caraway seeds.

Just so you know, I baked the 4 hot dogs-in a preheated 425 degree oven for 25 minutes…

Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, absolutely delicious! Sorta like eating a hot dog in an everything bagel!

For you guys who “must” know, I had 2 dogs and Mrs. Jeff Eats had 2 dogs…
My dogs were topped with Nathan’s Famous Original Deli Mustard and Bubbies Sauerkraut. To my chagrin, Mrs. Jeff Eats topped both of her dogs with Heinz Tomato Ketchup! The mustard, sauerkraut and ketchup (in our refrigerator) were previously purchased at Publix. Bubbies Sauerkraut?- Down the road, Jeff Eats got plans to tell you guys how eating unpasteurized sauerkraut can help you -lose weight…

***** Bagel City South, 6006 Southwest 18th Street, Boca Raton, Florida 33433, (561) 393-5383.

In recent days, Jeff Eats has seen a number of tractor trailers loaded with cars with New York and New Jersey license plates- unloading their “cargo”- so to save time, let me answer the inevitable “best bagels” questions by reprinting this Jeff Eats’ article from February 23, 2015…

***** Bagel City South.

Jeff Eats recently received this e-mail…

Jeff,
Long time reader.
I know you don’t like or really do ‘best’ lists.
Indulge me, if it came down to just one south Florida joint, which one would it be for bagels?
I won’t tell anyone.
Thanks,
Anthony Franza

Anthony Franza,

You know that ‘best’ lists really aren’t my game…that said, if you promise not to tell anyone!

And- thanks for reading.

***** Bagel City South–6006 SW 18th Street, Boca Raton, Florida 33433–(561) 393-5383

Bagel City South makes some of the best New York styled bagels and bialys in South Florida. The stuff is made the old fashioned way, that being hand rolled, boiled and then oven baked.

The joint is open 7 days a week for breakfast and lunch. Great place for appetizing, burgers, deli, eggs and of course those fantastic bagels/bialys.

Sassy waitresses and talkative countermen add to the New York flavor. This is a real good one.
