There\\u2019s nothing quite like a freshly baked bagel. The exterior is glossy and caramelized with a distinctive crispness and a soft, chewy interior that has a mellow, yet complex flavor. Top that off with cream cheese and house-cured lox and you\\u2019ve got one helluva breakfast, lunch or snack.

Of course,\\xa0 that\\u2019s just a modicum of what you\\u2019ll find at Allie Boy\\u2019s Bagelry & Luncheonette, one of the newest spots in Milwaukee to get an amazing bagel... and\\xa0 enjoy a great line-up of elevated deli-inspired noshes.

This week on FoodCrush, we chat with Staci Lopez and Ben Nerenhausen, owners of Allie Boy\\u2019s about their experiences opening a new restaurant even during the most challenging of times. Over the course of our conversation, we learn more about this accomplished couple, who\\u2019ve worked in restaurants across the U.S., glean insights into the vision for Allie Boy\\u2019s, the challenges the business has faced, and the bright future they hope to build in their new Milwaukee home.
