I was just thinking how far I'll have to travel for a polish boy & fried wings smothered in bbq sauce this summer - cause I'm due! Then I googled "polish boy in Cincinnati (or anywhere closer to Nashville)".

Maybe even just a little positive notice from the Scene might have made the difference in helping this place make it. Maybe instead of TWO lengthy pieces in the past few months raving about the totally vile and embarassing fake-ski lodge in 12 South.
THIS was the cool, genuinely neighborhood place that you tried so hard to make that out to be (That place is a blight on its neighborhood, and belongs in a shopping mall if at all.)
More places like this would continue to make Nashville a cooler and more interesting place.

I'm very familiar with Chef Herget's hearty embrace of a wide variety of food origins. I have been a fan of his culinary expertise since his days in Miami.

I wanted to point you to a friend of ours, Melissa Irwin, who is in her 5th year of the charity for 4 orphanages in Zimbabwe Africa.
She attends Cross Point Community Church in Brentwood, TN, has a child with Down Syndrome, just published her first book "Well Watered.... Never Thirst", and has four orphanages in Zim.

"Proper" bagels, as made and sold in places where they have long been part of the culture, are boiled, (water is best, but there are credible "Philadelphia egg bagel" variations if you like that sort of thing) and always, always finished with an egg wash that gives them a shiny, identifiable crust on the outside. (Sesame or onion or "everything" should not be slathered on so thick that it sticks to your hand or falls off--although the egg wash helps prevent those.)

We are definitely undeserved in the bagel department, as Nor'easter I have a hard time getting people to "make" my bagel. I am constantly having to unpack the cream cheese, tomato and onion to "make it myself.

Westendrail- I'm with you on the toast issue. I usually ask for the bagel to be "double toasted" to get that crunch I'm looking for.
