Overview
If you've found yourself eating your way around London at some stage in the past few years, you're probably familiar with legendary 24-hour Brick Lane bakery Beigel Bake. Now, you can get your hands on a close rendition of its signature house-made, carbo-loaded treats — without the 23-hour plane flight.
Yes, a crew by the name of Salt Beef Beigel has hit Aussie shores and it's channelling the beloved Jewish-style 'beigels' (the word 'bagel' is thought to be an Americanisation of the word 'beigel', which is used throughout England) for a new kitchen takeover at Enmore's Slyfox.
To match the inner west bar's regular booze offering, Salt Beef Beigel will be plating up two pillowy bagel creations, which can be matched with waffle fries and your choice of dipping sauce for $16.
There's the meaty edition, loaded with 18-hour slow-cooked wagyu brisket, crunchy pickles and mustard — as well as a vegan chickpea-crusted cauliflower bagel. Gluten-free options are also on offer, for a couple of extra bucks. And when it comes to those sauces, you're seriously spoilt for choice, with the likes of confit garlic aioli, chilli jam, smokey BBQ sauce, toasted cumin and lemon aioli, gravy, hot sauce and even a UK chip shop-inspired curry number.
Find Salt Beef Beigel at the Slyfox, 199 Enmore Road, Enmore. It's open from 6pm till sold out, Tuesday–Saturday.
