“Just give daddy his lox, and nobody gets hurt.”
Going back at least two decades, as various on-line forums started blossoming (later to migrate toward social media platforms), the ones devoted to Louisville-area foodies have reliably expressed a desperation borne of bagel deprivation.
Speaking personally, Nancy’s (now Payne Street Bakehouse) remains fine by me, but it’s also true that there cannot be too many folks striving to build a better bagel, and as such, Michael L. Jones takes to his familiar niche at Louisville Business First and profiles another, coming soon: Earlybird Bagel Shop, at 1039 Ash St. in Germantown, as sharing space with the ever-shapeshifting Six Forks Burgers.
Owners Lisa and Brice Ginardi began honing their offerings at Chef Space, then doing pop-ups. Visit Earlybird’s page at Instagram for information about the shop’s approaching soft opening and regular business hours.

“What I like about bagels is they are pretty much a blank slate. I know there’s a lot of traditionalists and traditional flavors. We have some of them but we really like to experiment,” Lisa said. “We had some more unusual offerings in our pop-ups, and they were actually pretty successful. So, those are some of the ones we’re bringing into our everyday menu.”
