This week on Heartland Hot Dish, we’re getting wonderfully twisted as we explore the Midwest’s deep, doughy love affair with pretzels. Michigan pretzels here aren’t just snacks — they’re soft, salty symbols of community, celebration, and a proud German-American heritage.
We’ll take you on a tour of:
- Classic Michigan bakeries
- Surprising dips
- And yes, we’ll dig into fun pretzel trivia, from medieval superstition to how the Midwest helped popularize America’s hard snack pretzels.
So grab a mug of something cold, tear off a piece of pillowy pretzel, and join us as we celebrate one of the Midwest’s crunchiest, coziest culinary icons.
