America’s favorite grab-and-go breakfast food is given a luxurious makeover at Smögen Appetizers, a gourmet bagel pop-up operating out of Vintage Wine & Eats in Studio City. While many L.A. bagel aficionados are content with a humble egg-and-cheese, Smögen takes it up a notch with a lineup of outrageously decadent, sushi-grade toppings. The flavors are so carefully orchestrated that they even add wine pairings next to each menu item.
The elegant pop-up crafts perfectly light and crispy sourdough bagels using a twenty-five-hour process to treat the naturally leavened dough. This creates the perfect vehicle to riff on your traditional combination of cream cheese and smoked fish: think rich hand-sliced hamachi, pearl smoked trout roe, white anchovies, lobster salad, ahi poke, and more. Would you try one?
