Pretzels...

So this NY Times article got me thinking, where are the best pretzels in Metro Detroit?
I don't know of any bakeries that sell pretzels, someone help!

I dunno about the pretzels, I just know they taste AWESOME dipped in McClure's mustard!!

The only place I can think of is at the Mall. I know Eastland used to have a Hot Sam Pretzle place that was there forever until Aunt Annie's opened.

Sad thing was that a few months after Aunt Annies opened, Hot Sams closed down.

I really liked Hot Same, as Aunt Annies pretzles taste like crap.

^I second the Pretzel Peddler. If you want some good pretzels you gotta just go to the mall!

Nooo! That's the only place I know too.

No one knows of a bakery?

We need to attract more Germans. No two ways about it.

How about the German bakery in Clinton Township? They show pretzels on their site.

Well, it's a bit out of the Metro area but Lev's Bakery in Tecumseh make AMAZING pretzels! It's been a few years since I have lived there but IIRC, they only make them one day a week and people line up out the door to buy them.

They are much better than mall pretzels!

In Philadelphia, there are an abundance of pretzel vendors on the street that are basically hot dog carts that sell hot dogs, hot pretzels, etc. Wish we had street vendors like that here!

Guess we'll have settle for crunching on our Better Mades. Not the worst thing in the world...

A pretzel stand on Cadillac Square or up at Grand Circus Park would be nice.

Too bad they would probably get robbed or run out of business by the guy going around with the cardboard sign asking for change.

I'm sure pretzel vendors get robbed in Philadelphia. The reason there aren't [[very many) street vendors in Detroit is more likely the lack of pedestrians. And what I understand is the difficulty of getting permitted by the city.

Sunflower Bakery in downtown Farmington sells pretzel rolls - kind of a long soft bun with a salted dark crust. Great with peanut butter slathered inside!
