You are looking at what is, quite possibly, the best bagel sandwich on earth. This particular model is the Ham and Swisser--soaked in just the right amount of honey dijon mustard. Fantastic.

Where can you procure such an edible delicacy? Charlotte North Carolina. Yeah, we are serious. Owen's Bagels & Deli, a non-descript breakfast/lunch joint, makes these steamed bagel sandwiches.

The story goes like this--it is a husband wife shop. Geoff Owen and Missy Owen received a bagel steamer as a wedding gift from their former boss, Ned, the owner of the original Bagels & Deli in Oxford Ohio.

Now, "Owen" slings bagels down south giving patrons a reason to head to Dilworth, South End, Charlotte area.

Here is one of the testimonials from Owen's site:

"This is by far the best sandwich I have ever had."   -- Kevin & Liz , Dilworth Yuppies

The best part? This family friendly deli is right next door to a place called Leather & Lace.

But forget all that, we are hear to tell you Owen's steamed bagel sandwiches are real...and they are spectacular.

bagel & deli

ya, right under Ben Klopp's baR! that place was dE-luctable. A guy opened a steamed bagel shop i used to hit on the way to the Fisher School of Business on OSU Columbus's High Street strip. His 'Phelp's Fancy' had smoked turkey, sprouts, spicy mustard, plain cream cheese and avacado steamed to melted perfection.... I WANT ONE! lol-- but i cannot find a 'bagel steamer' anywhere, INCLUDING restaurant depot dot com. Does ANYONE know where I can buy a BAGEL STEAMER nowadays???
