Joeys New York Bagels 2

Description

Joe, owner of Joey's New York Bagels in Hendersonville NC was born in the Bronx and raised on Long Island NY. He began his career in the bagel industry at the age of 17, when he was hired at the local bagel shop part-time. After six months of mopping floors, and cleaning equipment Joe asked to learn how to make bagels. He soon began working long hours after school, baking bagels for large wholesale routes. Joe, discovering his passion for the bagel business, worked for the next 20 years in the industry learning the traditional arts of hand-rolling bagels, crafting bialys, and other bagel crafting techniques even as new technology mechanized the bagel industry. Joe has used techniques and recipes, learned from some of the best bagel shops in Long Island and Manhattan, to bring an authentic New York Bagel experience to the Western Carolinas since 2011.
