All About

Bagels
As the owner and founder of Sadelle's, a bakery-restaurant in the
Soho neighborhood of New York City, Melissa Weller is a master
baker whose work has received critical acclaim. She received a
James Beard Nomination for Outstanding Baker in 2016. Weller
was among the prominent instructors who demonstrated tips
and techniques during the Bread Bakers Guild of America's recent WheatStalk conference in Providence, Rhode Island.
In 2013 Weller created a sensation by selling her hand-rolled
bagels at the outdoor Smorgasburg market in Brooklyn. Those
bagels led to her partnership with the Major Food Group to
create and open the bagel-centric restaurant Sadelle's.  
Sadelle's features quintessential appetizing selections like
sliced-to-order salmon and sturgeon, chopped salads and other
New York classics. The restaurant also specializes in traditional
Russian caviar and vodka service. The bakery highlights one of
New York's greatest food traditions - the bagel. Hand-rolled
bagels, pastries and breads are made fresh on-site throughout
the day in a glass-enclosed bakery, located in the center of the
dining room.
