Technical knockout for the burger! Although it's widely popular, American bread offers little scope for imagination when compared with the open creativity of bagels. It's also much less practical to serve: it needs to be baked and often needs to be prepared in advance, whereas the bagel is cooked to order. The burger risks arriving at the place of consumption lukewarm. In terms of image, the bagel manages to combine a historical presence in certain cultures with an innovative side. Added to this is its perfect alignment with the demands of an increasingly demanding market (and rightly so).
