What Makes a Pretzel... a Pretzel?

Michelle Maternowski
Mitch Teich and food scientist Anne Vravick trying to determine if the snacks they are eating are, in fact, pretzels.

It's a very special episode of The Pretzel Podcast... Mitch and Michelle venture out of the studio to visit the Food Lab at Mount Mary University in Milwaukee. They meet food scientist and instructor Anne Vravick and ask her some very fundamental questions about pretzels. Plus, they brought along pretzels, some crisp Moldovan bread rings, and something called Twiglets to try.
