    fresh bagels delivered

    Meyerland bagel bakery now shipping a taste of home to Houstonians nationwide

    Fans of Houston’s New York Deli and Coffee Shop and its companion Bagel Shop Bakery have a new way to share their enthusiasm with friends and loved ones. For the first time, the bakery — a staple of Houston’s Jewish community for 45 years — now ships its bagels across the country.

     

    Customers had inquired about shipping for years, but the bakery never made it a priority. With a decline in both dine-in and catering revenue due to the coronavirus pandemic, the business prioritized adding the option to its website and developing the necessary infrastructure.

     

    “We had put shipping on the back burner,” owner Michael Saghian tells CultureMap. Business was booming, and we weren’t really adding new options to our lineup. Now, we’re at 34 percent of our revenue from last year. We have to come up with new ways that work.”

     

    Available through the bakery’s website, fresh bagels are shipped overnight for $18 per dozen (usually $12.50) plus the cost of shipping. The minimum order is one dozen, but that just means making sure people get enough plain, poppy, or ET to suit their tastes.

     

    Overnight shipping isn’t cheap; a quick check of addresses shows about $50 to Austin, $70 to Dallas and almost $100 to destinations on the East or West Coast, but how can anyone put a price on giving former Houstonians an essential taste of home?

     

    “There are tons of people who grew up in this place,” Saghian says. “Some people consider this their home. People that love our bagels that don’t live here anymore — they’re getting the option to get our bagels.”

     

    Within the next couple of weeks, Saghian plans to begin offering frozen bagels that could be shipped via ground for a lower cost. That would also allow the deli to add some of its products such as cryovaced bags of matzo ball soup or refrigerated containers with smoked salmon and cream cheese.

     

    Everything’s on the table to keep the business going until the threat from the pandemic abates. No one wants to see the deli and bakery close, especially when it has plans for a second location in Bellaire.

     

    “If we just sit around and do nothing and pray people are going to walk in through our deli, we’re not going to survive,” Saghian says.

    Two week dining event celebrates Houston's Latin-owned restaurants

    A two-week celebration of Latin food and culture has begun in Houston. Latin Restaurant Weeks has returned for its seventh year.

    Held from Friday, July 11 until July 25, Latin Restaurant Weeks has more than 40 participants that showcase the diversity of Latin American cuisine. It includes everything from all four of James Beard Award winner Hugo Ortega’s restaurants — Mexican staple Hugo’s, seafood restaurant Caracol, Oaxacan restaurant Xochi, and street food favorite Urbe — as well as Brazilian steakhouses, casual taquerias, and bakeries.

    Unlike Houston Restaurant Weeks where restaurant serve prix fixe menus at set prices, each participating restaurant in Late Restaurant Weeks determines its own offer. For example, at The Lymbar, David Cordua’s Latin-Mediterranean fusion restaurant in Midtown, diners have the option of a two-course, $25 lunch or a three-course, $39 dinner. Next door at Late August, chef Chris Williams and Sergio Hidalgo’s Michelin-recommended restaurant, the options consist of a two-course lunch and a three-course dinner (pricing information wasn’t available at press time). In contrast, Urbe’s sole offering is a three crispy pork belly taco plate for $17.

    Those looking for more of a bar experience should consider Botónica, the recently-opened, Latin-inspired cocktail bar near River Oaks District. Aye Candy, a speakeasy-style bar in Spring Branch, is serving a $35 margarita flight with four variations on the popular cocktail.

    Married couple Karinn Chavarria-Luckett and Warren Luckett founded Latin Restaurant Weeks in 2019 to increase awareness of Latin-owned restaurants. Since then, the event has expanded from Houston to Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington, D.C.

    “Latin Restaurant Weeks was created to spotlight the cultural richness woven into each dish and story,” said Karinn Chavarria-Luckett, co-founder of Latin Restaurant Weeks. “It’s a celebration of identity, of creativity, and of the people behind the flavors who make our communities vibrant and strong.”
