Hand-rolled, kettle-boiled bagels made with Brooklyn-replicated water (Denver's water filtered to match New York's mineral profile), topped with house-cured lox, cream cheese, capers, and red onion.
Joshua Pollack opened Rosenberg's Bagels and Delicatessen in 2014 in Five Points, building a water-treatment system that reverse-osmosis-filters and remineralises Denver's hard mountain water to match the soft, slightly acidic profile of Brooklyn's water. The bagels are kettle-boiled in malt-syrup water and baked on burlap-covered boards.
