The video features a host, Andrew, and his friends, Adam and Keith, who visit three different bagel shops in New York City to try various types of bagels. They start at Utopia Bagels, where they learn about the traditional process of making hand-rolled, kettle-boiled bagels. They try a plain bagel and an everything bagel with cream cheese, tomato, and Nova lox.
Next, they visit Balboa Nut Restaurant in the West Village, where they try a Jerusalem bagel, which is baked instead of boiled and has a lighter, airier texture. They pair it with a cocktail and a side of zatar, a Middle Eastern herb.
Finally, they visit the Westin hotel, where they try a $1,000 gold bagel, topped with truffle, mascarpone cream cheese, and 24-karat gold leaf. The proceeds from the sale of this bagel go to the Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen, which serves up to 1,000 people a day.
In the end, Andrew declares Utopia Bagels as his "Worth It" winner, while Adam jokingly chooses a non-existent "Barb" as his winner.
