Transcript

What's your controversial take on breakfast? I think sweet cream cheese on a salty bagel is fire, and blueberry cream cheese on a Asiago bagel tastes like a charcuterie board. Okay. Holy shit. Let's try it. Worst time I'm trying a Asiago bagel with blueberry cream cheese that we make in worse, not the bagels yes. Evan says this tastes like a charcuterie board, so let's give it a shot and see. I'm a big sweet and salty girl and this hit the fucking spot. Thanks Evan.
