Mac 'n' Cheese Lovers Take Notice—This Ain't Your Grandmother's Bagel
Just in time for swimsuit marathon-running season, the mac 'n' cheese bagel is bringing you the kind of filling goodness that you usually have to wait ’til two-for-one beer pitchers at happy hour for.
Yep, coast-to-coast bagel impresarios Einstein Bros., innovators of the asiago and jalapeño cheddar bagels, have really come up with a new, genius idea: Take Annie’s brand mac 'n' cheese and put it on top of a fresh potato bagel. Not inside, which any starving fool could dream up. But onto—how do those delightful little noodles keep from sliding off, you may ask? That’s the combo of food science and good ole fashioned American know-how—a slice of melted cheddar keeps everything in place.
And what’s it taste like? It’s a combination of sweet-ish potato bread with a soupçon of umami in the cheeses, along with the satisfying mouthfeel of those macaroni noodles. Available in its naked platonic ideal (fighting stats: 440 calories, 14 and 19 grams of fat and protein, respectively) or in breakfast and lunch sammies, the bagel is only being offered ’til fall. Summer of 2018 bagel challenge, anyone?
