Pretzel rolls are the new thing, I see every restaurant advertising them. Why do I want a salty tough bun on my burger?

I don't care for it with a burger. I like those with ham or turkey.

Pretzel rolls are delicious when fresh and done properly -drool-They're often suspect in the US, uniformly excellent in Germany. If your kids are interested at all in baking they're fun to make--you boil them in baking soda water before baking.

Bennigan's used to make a sandwich called the turkey o'toole on a pretzel roll and it was the best thing ever. They closed most of them down though...sniffle

I wanted them to be like the soft pretzels you buy but coudn't quite get the same texture and taste.

Wendy's burger is terrible. It was just a dry hard roll. Didn't really make me think of a pretzel at all. Ruby Tuesday's now has one but we don't eat there. I won't touch Sonic with a ten foot pole. I've noticed around here they're moving on from pretzels. Now the new thing is to drench everything in Buffalo wing sauce.

Wing sauce is just Frank's red hot and butter. SOooooo tasty.

Actually, the original wings were Frank's and margarine. I think butter is better!

If your kids are interested at all in baking they're fun to make--you boil them in baking soda water before baking. My previous employer's office in Zurich had pretzel rolls in the break room. Great stuff. This reminds me, though, of the migration of bagels from ethnic food to franchise food. (Same with panini, which is now in every airport takeout rack- it's just a way to increase the volume of bread in a sandwich and save money on the fillings.) Interesting coincidence is that bagels are also supposed to be boiled in soda water before baking. The real ones, which I used to enjoy on the East Coast, still are. The rest are either steamed, or they don't even bother and what you're really eating is a hard roll with a hole in the middle. I don't eat imitation bagels and will be suspicious of most attempts at pretzel bread, especially in fast food chains.

I keep seeing the commercial for the Sonic hot dog with bacon and cheese on a pretzel roll. I sooooooo want to try it, but I'm not sure the five hrs I will spend in the bathroom afterwards is worth it.

I'd have to drive 5 hours to get to a Sonic.

I heard DJ on the radio talking about Wendy's pretzel rolls and said it is drivng sales up (I'm sure it was paid ad). I tried one. Didn't really care for it.
Also tried the Sonic pretzel dog with cheese. It was ok. Lots of cheese. Heard it was a zillion calories.
I was also wondering what is driving the pretzel roll craze.

I keep hoping the guys in the Sonic commerical will choke on their pretzel dogs.

Yeah, those guys are so annoying! I turn the channel whenever one of their commercials come on.

Stay tuned for this:
Somebody didn't finish their dinner, iirc, turkey on a pretzel roll. I reheated it in the toaster oven.
It ended up not with the boiled soft pretzel feel. The inside was still soft, but the exterior of the roll had a crunchy pretzel texture.
I stumbled into it, the holy grail of pretzel rolls.

They closed all the Bennigan's in my area though. I miss it There are 2 that are about 30 miles away from me, but I have not been successful in convincing my wife that they are worthy of visiting when we have a night off from the kids. Her and I will just have to disagree on that one.
