City Editor Haley here with an official schmear campaign to start a new food series I like to call Foodie Favs, where we’re going to dive into the best menu items, curated by the help of our readers.

For the first installment, we’re kicking off with a breakfast delicacy: bagels. We might not be New York, but there are certainly plenty of local spots to get your fix, and I’m curious — what is your favorite bagel in all of Chattanooga?

We’re not keeping it plain here, we’re talking your go-to order at your favorite joint. To get to the cream cheese of it all, I’ll start.

There are two versions of me — one where I house a 2 A.M. Bagel from Honey Seed (subbing out the white cheddar cheese for extra Tillamook cheddar) + the one where I’m feeling nostalgic for a true NY-style sandwich and order the BEC from Brothers Bagel. And you know it’s an everything bagel every single time.

Give us your order to be featured as a Foodie Fav.
