2nd BAGEL AND LOX
Brent's Deli Northridge, Los AngelesI have a confession, I have never eaten lox before. It seemed weird to me to put fish on a bagel with cream cheese. After watching an episode of chef last night, I realized that I should be able to eat lox because it's smoked salmon and I like salmon. So I put on my grown-up pants today and ordered it. Wow, it's not at all what I expected. It tastes like smokey and silky ham. It's not fishy at all. With the tomato and cream cheese and red onions, it is a hit! I feel like such an adult right now 🙂. NOTE TO SELF: ask for the black crushed peppercorns next time... They have it.
