Head chef of Blaze Pizza to open new Los Angeles restaurant, Bagel+Slice
Head chef and co-founder of Blaze Pizza, Brad Kent, is opening a brand new restaurant in Highland Park, CA later this fall, Bagel+Slice. Bagel+Slice is more than just another restaurant. This restaurant represents community, social awareness, and environmentally friendly solutions with a commitment to health consciousness for both its customers' well being as well as the planet's natural resources. For the past 30 years, food scientist and internationally-renowned chef Brad Kent has been working tirelessly to perfect the taste and texture of both pizzas and bagels which marks now as the perfect time to debut his new establishment, Bagel+Slice. Paying homage to the historic New York City bagel makers, Bagel+Slice rolls its bagels by hand (not a machine), boils the bagels (instead of steaming them), bakes its bagels on a burlap lined board (not parchment paper), and bakes its bagels in a hearth oven (not a convection oven). Bagel+Slice is gluten-friendly and its wheat doughs for bagels and pizzas are all vegan.
Bagel+Slice is committed to the future of our planet by contributing in major ways towards reversing climate change. One important contribution they are making, which has been linked with being one of the most highly effective ways for reducing greenhouse gasses and isolating carbon from the environment, is by sourcing regenerative organic farming ingredients.
