30 | February 14, 2019 | The winnetka Current dining out winnetkacurrent.com Community first for Northbrook’s Big Apple Bagels Michal Dwojak Contributing Sports Editor Maria and Hector Barbosa already knew the essential element to starting out in the bagel business: making the dough. Hector had been the baker for Big Apple Bagels in Northbrook when the store officially opened in 1995, but when there was a change at the head of the Northbrook shop, he approached Maria about the opportunity to take over. She had experience as a restaurant manager and a background in accounting, so it all seemed to add up to a winning recipe. The Barbosas took over the Northbrook franchise in 2001 and have become a part of the Northbrook community ever since. “It doesn’t feel like a VOTING OPEN Jan. 31–Feb. 24!

Maria believes her shop offers children something they can’t get anywhere else: a choice. Many parents like to send their children into the store so they can choose what they want to eat. She believes they get to learn about what they like, and in the same time, the Barbosas learn more about the families in the area. That bond is why the two franchise owners feel so close to their customers. They watch as kids grow up and eventually come back when they’re adults. “We feel like they have made us a part of their family and community,” Maria said. One thing that continues to bring people back in is the quality of the food. Hector has used his experience to create the besttasting bagel that also is made the right way. The bagels are made early in the morning and baked in steam — no oil, butter or anything else. That’s what Maria believes is the reason why they’ve built such a strong relationship with the community. Everything is made from scratch in the shop, which is why so many people tell her the bagels stay fresh throughout the day, no matter what day it is. The Start Fresh ($4.99) breakfast sandwich includes scrambled eggs, sausage and cheese on any type of bagel. Photos by Jason Addy/22nd Century Media Big Apple Bagels also offers a wide selection of muffins. “That makes people want to come back, and when they taste it, it’s totally different,” Maria said. With such glowing remarks, editors from 22nd Century Media had to see what all the praise was about. The editors entered into the homey shop smelling the fresh aromas of bagels and sweets to find a wide range of them right in front of them behind the counter. The Barbosas first offered the Start Fresh ($4.99) breakfast sandwich, which includes scrambled eggs, sausage and cheese served on the customer’s choice of bagel — a filling and warm way to start the day. Editors tried the Lox & Cream Cheese sandwich ($8.99) next, which Maria said is one of the shop’s fan favorites. The sandwich includes lox, cream cheese, tomato and red onion, and is a good way to get a classic option when it comes to bagel sandwiches. We moved on to lunch and tried the Turkey Club ($6.49), which was a great spin on a classic. The Big Apple Bagels’ version, which includes roast turkey, bacon, American cheese, mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato, is a great option for lunch.
