Janet and Michael Feldman hail from the East coast – Jersey to be precise. The snowy slopes of Utah brought them our way decades ago now. When they landed they set about recreating the food they knew, loved and missed from back home. As well as stacked NYC style deli sandwiches, the duo make amazing bagels. How good? If you stop by any day, they’re almost always gone by noon.
