Meet the Team

Brad

What do you get when you cross 4 parts basketball coach, 3 parts commodity trader, 2 parts lawyer and 1 part college professor?  A left-handed bagel maker, of course. Meet Lefty, a.k.a. Brad, owner and founding bageler of LRB. His bagel journey started growing up on the North Shore, eating lox and bagels on Sunday mornings. But, after a family trip to Montreal in the early 1990’s introduced Brad to that city’s iconic bagel bakeries, a passion for amazing wood-fired bagels was indelibly ingrained into his mind and tummy. Fast forward to now, and the dream of opening an artisan bagel shop is soon to become a reality! A bit of a bagel purist, his fav bagel is Pink Himalayan Salt with classic cream cheese. Toasted bagel, of course!

Kari

There's no better job for Kari McGrath than the Director of Hospitality, Staff, and Fun. Always on the lookout for ways to create memorable experiences, she brings a people-centered focus to the LRB team. Combining her background in the hospitality industry and leadership coaching experience, she is committed to building a one-of-a-kind customer and employee experience at LRB.  A lightly toasted Rosemary Salt with a heavy "drizzle" of olive oil is her favorite.
