In the first installment of our new series, Foodie Favs, we asked you all what your favorite bagel was in Chattanooga, and you certainly brought the schmear. Here are some go-to orders being placed around town.

"@grabelsbagels is great! My fav is their Onion bagel.” — @judyw4ever

“I always get a bacon, egg, and cheese on a jalapeno cheddar bagel and it hits every time!!!!” — @brittanytapp_
“The Chattanoogan at @brothers.bagel.chatt but honorable mention for their French toast bagel with espresso chip cream cheese. I don’t know how I lived before you guys opened.” — @betzzzz_
“Blueberry bagel + funfetti schmear is the reason I wake up in the morning.” — @shelbsamarsh

Be Caffeinated, locations vary
“If wanting something sweet, chocolate bagel with Oreo shmear! Savory go to is salt bagel with any shmear!” — @bethechangeyi
“Be Caffeinated’s salt bagel with blueberry schmear is always a hit, and probably the best combo I’ve found in the area. Brother’s are good, but Be Caffeinated’s is always consistent and wonderfully salted.” — @rmarlucas
“My favorite I’ve had so far is the everything bagel with the garlic green onion schmear from Be Caffeinated. Haven’t had the chance to try Brothers Bagel yet.” — @dangerdragon
