Visit The Laundromat SF for New York-style bagels

The Laundromat SF has a long line of people waiting to get their hands on a variety of New York-style bagels.

Owned and operated by Long Island-native Kevin Rodgers, the popular spot makes pizzas by night and bagels during the day.

"Everybody knows that east coasters are very particular about their bagels, so there's always that kind of undercurrent of the importance of bagels," shared Rodgers. "It's just a staple food back home, it's something that we eat every day. It was just kind of a natural thing to be like, 'yeah, I want good bagels.'"

Kevin and his partner, Jenna, are the duo behind Holey Roller Bagels, a cult favorite at Farmers Markets. They expanded and opened up this shop where every bagel is organic, boiled, baked, and hand-rolled.

Kevin started making bagels at home during the pandemic.

"It went from doing 10 dozen to doing 20 dozen to doing 30 dozen in a matter of weeks," recalled Rodgers. "It was something that got traction really quick."

Customers can order a range of bagels from poppy seed to everything on pumpernickel. It's the texture-flavor combination that has visitors lined up around the block.

"What makes a really good flavor is the fermentation or proofing process. We want a minimum of 24 hours, we even extended that to 48 hours now," said Rodgers. "That will give it that really kind of nice crisp crust and chewy interior."

Rodgers added, "I can't believe how long people wait, thank you...thank you for being a part of the restaurant and coming here."

These Ritz Cracker Sandwiches Vanish Before the Party Starts

Ritz Party Sandwiches transform familiar buttery crackers into warm, savory appetizers that are exactly the right size for grabbing from a crowded table. Cheese and flavorful sandwich fillings sit between pairs of crackers, creating miniature bites with a crisp exterior and rich center. As they bake, the cheese melts, the filling warms, and the crackers become even more aromatic without losing the delicate texture that makes Ritz crackers so recognizable. Each small sandwich delivers salt, butter, cheese, and savory flavor in one or two bites, which explains why people rarely stop after taking only one. The recipe does not require elaborate pastry, specialty bread, or hours of preparation, yet the completed tray looks more thoughtful than simply opening a box of crackers. It is party food built around convenience without tasting like the cook took an obvious shortcut.

Grandma Was Right About Potatoes and Onions

Sometimes the most memorable food begins with ingredients so ordinary that their transformation feels almost unfair. Southern Fried Taters and Onions take potatoes, sliced onion, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper and turn them into a skillet full of golden edges, tender centers, and deep savory flavor. As the potatoes cook, some pieces crisp against the hot pan while others remain soft enough to soak up the sweetness released by the onions. That mix of textures is what makes a simple recipe so hard to leave alone. Every serving contains a few crunchy bites, several buttery-soft slices, and caramelized onion tucked between them. No cream sauce, specialty cheese, or expensive meat is required to make the skillet smell like a proper country breakfast or old-fashioned family supper.

Remember the White Candy That Seemed to Appear in Every Grandma’s Christmas Tin?

Divinity is one of those old-fashioned candies that can instantly bring back a kitchen you haven’t stood in for years. Light, fluffy, and almost cloud-like, it’s nothing like dense fudge or chewy caramel. The outside sets with a delicate finish while the center stays soft and airy, with that unmistakable melt-away sweetness that made it a holiday candy-table favorite. It looks deceptively simple, but anyone who grew up watching a grandmother, aunt, or church-supper expert make a batch probably remembers there was a little technique involved. When it turns out right, those snowy spoonfuls look beautiful piled onto a platter—and somehow taste even better after you’ve spent years wondering why people stopped making them.

The Soup I Make When a Light Little Bowl Isn’t Going to Count as Dinner

Some soups leave you looking for a sandwich ten minutes later. This creamy sausage soup isn’t interested in being one of them. Savory sausage gives the whole pot a rich, smoky backbone while a velvety broth turns it into the kind of spoon-coating comfort food that feels substantial from the first bowl. Everything comes together in one pot, letting those browned sausage bits and seasonings work their way through the creamy base instead of disappearing down the drain with another dirty pan. Serve it bubbling hot with crusty bread and you’ve got exactly what a cold, tired evening calls for: something creamy, hearty, and satisfying enough that nobody asks what else is for dinner.
