Dropping them to one star after receiving this message from the owner:
"You should be arrested for your food photos. I can show you how to properly cut, sear, and present food. After you bail me out for making bialys, I want to teach you how to properly sear a scallop. You called me out? I accept. Walk the talk brother man. You can't cook to save your life, don't worry about the bialys."
The bagels were solid, but this owner is clearly quite the dick. I may have moved away from Madison, but there's no way I'd recommend anyone going back and supporting this business. Certainly not with attitude.
Oh, and fyi: The bialys suck. They aren't bialys, and they certainly don't taste like them.
To the owner, I respond with this: anyone can sear a scallop, including me. Why would I ever want you to show me? You and your staff can't even make a sandwich correctly.
