PEC Challenge: Hot Bagels Brooklyn's Finest

Happy National Bagel Day!! Seems like every day is a different "National ___ Day" but what I need to know is who decided that Bagel Day and Pizza Day would be the same day? As a New Jersey resident, this is extremely conflicting, but everyone knows carbs don't count on weekends.  So get out there and enjoy your favorite bagel or pizzeria.  Better yet, go make yourself some pizza bagels for a late night snack after drinking a few chardonnays tonight.  

  

So how the hell could a place in Red Bank, NJ claim to be Brooklyn's finest? Well, I met the owner and he's definitely from Brooklyn so that's good enough for me. (In actuality I observed a guy I assumed to be the owner interact with someone on the phone.) The thing I noticed most about this place was how clean it was, but that could be because it's a fairly new place. (New to me is anything that opened in the last 10 years.) The bagels here are very good and the best part is you can order them online to deliver to you for FREE. You can thank me tomorrow morning.

Bread Rating: 8/10 (You already know)

Pork Roll Rating: 8.4/10 (Thickly sliced FTW)

Egg Rating: 8.3/10 (A lot of egg on here, it's fried so no complaints)

Cheese Rating: 6.7/10 (Simple, average cheese)

Sandwich Composition: 7.6/10 (It's tough to get it right and to keep a sandwich together when it's on a bagel but the ratio seemed to be right on this one.  Not too messy but was able to keep everything in order without skimping on pork roll or egg.)

Overall: 7.8/10 (Pretty legit spot made even more clutch with the delivery option)

Price: $4.75, cards accepted and takes online orders ahead for pickup and delivery.  

Hot Bagels Brooklyn's Finest is located at 368 Broad St. Red Bank, NJ 07701.  It's on an awkward corner of Broad and Maple so enter the parking lot from Maple Ave.
