Pretzels have a long history, dating back to early medieval Europe. Legend suggests they were invented by monks in Italy or Southern France as a reward for children who learned their prayers. From there, they spread throughout Europe, particularly to Germany, where they became a staple, especially in Bavaria. The pairing with mustard is also a traditional Bavarian custom.

Brotzeit Culture
Pretzels are a key component of Brotzeit, a traditional Bavarian snack or light meal typically enjoyed in the late morning or early afternoon.
Symbolic Shape

Premium Feature
The dish balances savory, cheesy, salty, and spicy flavors with varying textures.
The pretzel sticks offer a slightly malty, bready, and salty flavor with a chewy, dense texture. Our signature queso contributes a creamy, cheesy, and rich flavor profile, often with a hint of spice depending on the specific recipe. The spicy mustard provides a sharp, tangy, and hot counterpoint, cutting through the richness of the cheese and adding a pungent aroma. The combination creates a complex and satisfying taste experience.
Premium Feature
Temperature Matters
Serve the pretzel sticks warm to maximize their soft, chewy texture. The queso should be warm and melted, while the mustard can be served at room temperature or slightly chilled.
Pairing Suggestions
Enjoy the pretzel sticks with a crisp German beer, such as a Helles or Pilsner, to complement the salty and savory flavors. A lighter white wine can also work well.
Mustard Variety
Experiment with different types of spicy mustard, such as a stone-ground mustard or a horseradish mustard, to find your preferred level of heat and flavor complexity.
