What goes into a top-ranked bagel? Whatever you can imagine. St. Louis Bread Co. takes creative license when it comes to shaping their big, satisfying bagels. Sure, they have the old standards. Sometimes there's nothing better -- until you try a French toast bagel, a cinnamon crunch, chocolate, nine-grain or another of their seasonal, featured variations. Is it the great variety that made the difference in our poll? Perhaps. Or maybe simply starting with a great basic bagel is the secret to the Bread Co.'s success.
