The famed Fairmount bagel is reaching new heights thanks to an astronaut with a yen for that distinctive treat.It seems Montreal-born astronaut Greg Chamitoff, who began a six-month stint aboard the International Space Station yesterday, was quite excited about the idea of floating in space with the comfort of the chewy, slightly sweet variety of bagel this city is famous for by his side.
When NASA officials asked Chamitoff for a favourite food to take aboard space shuttle Discovery, he picked the humble bagel as his preferred snack for the flight.
And not just any Montreal-style bagel, but 18 sesame bagels from his relatives' Montreal Fairmount Bagel, which usually competes with St. Viateur bagels a block away for the crown as the city's best.
It might be the perfect time for Park City Bread and Bagel to challenge them both. We'll host a competition right here in Park City. Let's see them try to make a bagel at 7,000 feet above sea level.What we found: Montreal bagel makers had no problem trash-talking New York bagels, which they found to be too gargantuan and too salty. “Why do they even call it a bagel?” asked Andrew Gryn, a long-time employee of St-Viateur’s. “It’s like having bread.”
He was speaking of H&H bagels, which he had tried when he was in New York. “It’s grossly oversized for no reason,” he sniffed. “You can’t even have your mouth around it.” (In fact, a comparison done in 2000 found that H&H bagels were about twice the weight of a St-Viateur bagel.)
