The head Chef and co-Founder of Blaze Pizza, Brad Kent, is opening a restaurant in Los Angeles, according to a press release.

The restaurant, Bagel+Slice, represents community, social awareness and environmentally friendly solutions with a commitment to health consciousness for both their customers' well being as well as the planet's natural resources, according to a press release.

For the past 30 years, food scientist and internationally-renowned Chef Kent has been working to perfect the taste and texture of both pizzas and bagels.

Paying homage to the historic New York City bagel makers, Bagel+Slice rolls bagels by hand (not a machine), boils the bagels (instead of steaming), bakes bagels on a burlap lined board (not parchment paper) in a hearth oven (not a convection oven). Bagel+Slice is gluten-friendly and their wheat doughs for bagels and pizzas are all vegan.

The restaurant is slated to open later this fall.
