Pretzel logic

Auntie Anne's soft pretzels

Noshing & Sipping by Theresa Regli

When Anne Beiler developed the recipe for her hand-rolled soft pretzel in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, she probably never dreamed that 10 years later her buttery treats would be available from Kansas to Kuala Lumpur. We're lucky enough to have two Auntie Anne stores in Boston: one at South Station and one at Logan Airport, where the large pretzels sell for $1.50 to $2 each (dipping sauce included). They're soft and chewy, with a slightly crispy crust, and heavily seasoned with the toppings of your choice. The garlic pretzel with marinara sauce makes a nice light lunch, as does the sesame pretzel with cheddar-cheese sauce or cream cheese. After just a few samples, you'll be tempted to reroute your commute.
