Linda interviews Hans Röckenwagner, owner and founder of Restaurant Röckenwagner, James Beard Award winner, pretzel expert and more, about pretzels: where they came from, where theyre made, how they came about, and much more. This program has been sponsored by Whole Foods Market. Todays music provided by The California Honeydrops. What I love about a pretzel is it has a distinct burstiness.
