Bo’s Baked Bagel and Lox

Bo's Baked Bagel and Lox

The Bo Jackson Signature Foods Test Kitchen with Chef Mark is in full swing. Episode 2 is out and up on social media. Did you see the LIVE episode? This week, Chef Mark used the Bo Jackson Signature Sideliners (the Salmon Sliders), to make a play on Bagel and Lox. Scooping out the middle of an everything bagel, and combining the bread with several ingredients, including the Salmon Sliders from Bo Jackson Signature Foods, the dish was a home run. Featuring a homemade pico, fellow Host Vanessa was eager to try this dish! What an innovative way to use the Bo Jackson Signature Foods line and what a great dish to make with friends and family. Food really does bring people together.
