'Fox & Friends Weekend' celebrates National Bagel Day

Bagel Point co-owner Sam Kaplan and Bagel roller Angel Lucero join 'Fox & Friends Weekend' to celebrate National Bagel Day, share how bagels are made, and explain what Flagels and Cragels are.

In honor of January 15th — National Bagel Day, a special day to pay homage to a favorite breakfast and lunch food — "Fox & Friends Weekend" shared a few tasty morsels of information about the popular bagel.

"We have bagels, cragels and flagels," said co-host Will Cain, about the spread that was arranged in front of them.

Co-owner Sam Kaplan of Brooklyn's Bagel Point — along with bagel roller Angel Lucero — were guests of the program to share their creations.

The collection included colored bagels — plus chocolate, blueberry, strawberry and other specially flavored and designed bagels.

And a cragel, co-owner Kaplan explained, is half-bagel, half-croissant — "and we're the only ones in the country that carry it." 

He said that "there's a high demand for it [and] people come from all different areas" to get this offering.
