Bev's Bagels is putting its money where its mouth is by teaming up with some of Detroit's most celebrated chefs for a series of limited-time guest menus. Dubbed "Bagels with Buds," the collaboration promises to shake things up at the popular bagel shop, which opened earlier this year in Core City.
The first installment of the series, set to launch on October 30th, features a Mexican-inspired menu courtesy of Carlos Parisi, owner of Aunt Nee's chips and salsa. Among the offerings are a unique chocolate and pumpkin twist bagel with marzipan schmear, as well as a spicy chorizo and muenster bialy with salsa verde.
What's behind this bold move? According to Max Sussman, Bev's Bagels owner, the goal is to push beyond traditional flavors and explore new horizons. "At Bev's I always want to keep pushing the envelope beyond the traditional and into a more creative realm," he said in a statement. By inviting other chefs with their own distinct perspectives and ingredients, Sussman aims to celebrate Detroit's rich culinary diversity.
Other notable chefs set to join the "Bagels with Buds" series include Ji Hye Kim of Ann Arbor's Miss Kim and Little Kim, Ima's Mike Ransom, Takoi's Brad Greenhill, Mabel Gray's James Rigato, Leña's Mike Conrad, Molly Mitchell of Rose's Fine Foods, and John Yelinek of Ladder 4 Wine Bar.
For Parisi, the opportunity to collaborate with Sussman is particularly meaningful. "Detroit is a city that has thrived in the national eye because of collaboration, small business, and community," he noted. "This is everything to me, and I'm so happy to be working with Max, who has carried this thought with him in every step."
As for Bev's Bagels, the shop has already made a splash in Core City with its vibrant atmosphere and inventive bagel offerings. With the "Bagels with Buds" series, Sussman is solidifying the shop's commitment to creative flavors and community-driven collaboration – a true reflection of Detroit's culinary spirit.
