Blondie's Bagels and Bait Serves Stuffed Bagels Called Blondie BombShells

I'm sure you've probably seen or heard of the viral "stuffed bagels" that have been circulating on social media. Essentially, you wrap the dough around what you want in the sandwich, whether it be something as simple as cream cheese or more filling like deli meats and veggies, and then bake and sometimes fry it all together.

Even though these stuffed bagels are just surfacing on social media lately, Blondie's Bagels have been doing it FOR YEARS!

Steve and Rosemarie moved to the Hudson Valley from New York City and yearned for the fresh, handmade city-style bagels they were used to. Steve, of Jewish ancestry, graduated from New York Restaurant School as a chef and Rosemarie, an Italian-American who had previously owned a diner decided to start fresh in their new hometown and bring a bite of the city to Dutchess County.

In their journey to find the perfect location to open their bagel shop, they realized the demand for a place to sell live bait! Crazy as it sounded, they planted the seed and from that grew the marriage of the two to form Blondie's Bagels and Bait.
