A chat with Daniela Varela of Ruby's Bagels

Making bagels is an art. It's also a science.\\xa0 And when the two come together, the result is a near work of art. The ideal bagel possesses\\xa0 a glossy caramelized exterior, a distinctive crispness and a soft, chewy interior that has a mellow, yet complex flavor.\\xa0
Among the passionate bakers who've embarked on the quest to create perfectly chewy finely flavored bagels is Daniela Ruby Varela, the owner of Ruby\\u2019s Bagels.
During this week's podcast, Varela shares the story of her serendipitous journey to business ownership and her experience as the inaugural incubator truck at the Z\\xf3calo Food Park.\\xa0 She also reveals (some of) the secrets behind her delicious bagels and gives us a peek at her plans for the future. Along the way, we chat about the Milwaukee food scene, the \\u201cGreat British Baking Show\\u201d and the power of community and collaboration.
