s. Julie Podair's favorite comfort food growing up was lox and bagel—the popular Jewish cured fish and baked good combo. As a scientist by training , she loves to experiment with new food combinations. So, when she got a job cooking for a vegan brunch, she knew it was her chance to experiment with a carrot lox and bagel bar. It turned out to be a huge hit and she has now built Goldie Lox , a business centered around various vegan, Jewish deli foods.
