In praise of Panera Bread's Cinnamon Crunch Bagel
This bagel is everything. Photo: Melissa Hom I didn’t grow up in a family that dined out all that often. This is partly due to the fact that my brothers and I were raised by a single Colombian mother who was an excellent home cook. What’s the point, she would say, when I can make it better in my own kitchen? She was right, of course. Still, we were kids, and kids love going out to restaurants. The sights, the unpredictability of hungry passersby.
Despite its ubiquity, cinnamon remains one of the more controversial bagel flavors. It isn’t quite sweet, and it doesn’t readily lend itself to savory toppings like lox and capers. It took a national chain — one with 2,200 locations across the United States and Canada — to show me the true promise of a cinnamon-flavored bagel, by essentially turning it into a cake.
It makes me full and happy, and the mesmerizing fragrance of cinnamon greets me as soon as I walk through the door.
