I love bialys, but I am deeply, deeply, suspicious of anybody who says:
To begin with, bialys are just baked, not boiled and baked like bagels, and the ingredients are different. “A bialy has no fat, it’s got no sugar in it of any kind, it’s not fried, and it doesn’t have any oil,” Zablocki said. “It is a pretty healthy bread, designed to be eaten fresh and to be eaten daily, while a bagel is loaded with calories.”

A standard bagel recipe has no oil, and contains 1 tablespoon of sugar to 4 cups of flour. If he wants to make a fuss about that trace of sugar, I have no idea how he plans to make a bialy with no oil--everybody else uses a little to sautee the onion.

Whatevs, I'm just glad I found out about a place I can reliably get bialys that isn't the Union Square Farmer's Market on a Friday.
