A night-shift baker and a borrowed oven.
Dana Whitcomb learned to roll bagels on the overnight shift at a Montreal bakery. When she moved home to Burlington, she couldn't find one she liked. So she rented a pizza oven after closing time and started selling bagels out of a cooler on North Winooski Ave.
The cooler sold out by 8 a.m. for three summers straight. In 2016 she opened the shop on the same block. The number dispenser by the door came with the building. We kept it.
"If the line goes out the door, we're doing it right. If it goes past the laundromat, I bake another batch." — Dana
