NYT Bestselling Author Shares Hilarious Childhood Memory of 'Pizza Bagels'

Jeff Pearlman, the NYT best-selling author known for his sports biographies, recently shared a heartwarming, albeit unusual, childhood memory. In a short video posted on [Platform], Pearlman recounts his mother's unique approach to "pizza bagels." Instead of traditional bagels, she used English muffins, layering them with cheese and ketchup before toasting them. "She couldn't cook at all," Pearlman chuckled in the video, "but those pizza bagels were a regular thing." The video, which has quickly gained traction online, showcases a simple yet endearing family tradition. It's a testament to the power of simple moments and the lasting impact of a mother's love, however unconventional her cooking might have been. The video's charm lies in its authenticity and relatable nature, offering a glimpse into the author's personal life beyond the world of sports writing.
