Everyone&#8217;s got their favorite shop, their go-to order, and a deep-seated belief that Jersey bagels are objectively better than anything you&#8217;d find elsewhere. So, when Jeff Lacouture, the founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/uncutbagels.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><strong>Uncut Bagels<\/strong><\/mark><\/a>, decided to roll his dough into this carb-loving scene, he knew he was stepping into sacred territory. But instead of a traditional storefront, he\u2019s making waves (and bagels) from the heart of a shared commercial kitchen space, <a href=\"https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Garden State Kitchen<\/mark><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:43px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bagels: A Labor of Love<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What defines a good bagel? Most would say crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Doughy, but not tough or rubbery. Just the right amount of salt. That\u2019s just the texture and taste.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The making of bagels is no small feat. From mixing and kneading to shaping, boiling, and baking, each step demands precision, patience, and a healthy dose of elbow grease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ideal bagel maker is meticulous, observant, adaptable, and creative. With a background in engineering and a career in tech and sales, Jeff ticks all those boxes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Jeff, launching his own bagel business and baking before sunrise is about more than the science and timing of the perfect bagel, it\u2019s about connection. It\u2019s the joy of getting to know his customers at the farmers&#8217; market and providing comfort through food. Jeff has also used his bagel sales to raise funds for causes that align with his values. Bagel-making serves as an avenue to building and supporting community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"664\" height=\"664\" data-id=\"3681\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-bagels-before.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3681 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-bagels-before.png 664w, https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-bagels-before-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-bagels-before-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-bagels-before-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-bagels-before-100x100.png 100w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 664px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 664\/664;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"618\" height=\"618\" data-id=\"3682\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-bagels-after.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3682 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-bagels-after.png 618w, https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-bagels-after-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-bagels-after-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-bagels-after-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-bagels-after-100x100.png 100w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 618px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 618\/618;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-with-cream-cheese-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3683 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-with-cream-cheese-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-with-cream-cheese-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-with-cream-cheese-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-with-cream-cheese-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-with-cream-cheese-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-with-cream-cheese-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-with-cream-cheese-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-with-cream-cheese-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/gardenstatekitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pride-with-cream-cheese.jpg 2044w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/1024;\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Pride bagels before and after baking<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Farmers Markets: A Launchpad for Bagels<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a start-up bagel business, farmers markets offer the perfect proving ground.
