We've been getting compliments on it ever since we got them, and we think they really capture the spirit of fresh food and fantastic environment that defines Laura and Tony's! Darren is a local artist who has gotten international recognition, and we could not be happier with the work he's done for us. Come in, check out his work, and try some of our fantastic buffet while you're at it! 

But that isn't all!  Hopefully by now you've heard our new radio ad. My niece Lauren makes an appearance, and we show that this family friendly restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere, great prices, and more food in our buffet than you could ever want! We had a ton of fun making it, and we hope you have just as much fun hearing it.

Laura's Bagels

Starter: Let sit for 2 hours

4c all purpose flour

1 tsp yeast

21/2 water room temp

For the dough- add to the starter

1tsp yeast

3 3/4 flour

To finish, fill a heavy metal pot half with water and add 2 tbsp baking soda, then bring to a boil. Take the dough and cut it into 12 pieces. Roll these pieces into a ball then pierce with thumb and shape them - place in boiling water for 2 minutes for a chewy textured bagel. Remove from water and place on a greased sheet tray( if you want to add a topping like sesame seeds or poppy seeds do so while bagels are still wet ). Place in a preheated oven ( 425*F) for15 minutes then lower the temperature to 350*f for another 15 minutes.
