Pretzel Burger

Straight outta Stuttgart. Germany, that is.

Seems like the story behind this pretzel burger is that it's the cover shot for an upcoming issue of Accents magazine. The photo is blogged from Flickr, and the caption there says:

The cover story, "Take Away Denglish" is about the growing use of English words in the German language, something the magazine thinks "just doesn't work," hence the "pretzel burger."

Thanks to Udo Snack in downtown Stuttgart for letting us mess with their burgers.

Back in the olden days when I was there, I used to stop at a place called NuWay (if I remember correctly). They had/have a great loose hamburger sandwich there.

Earlier today I had lunch at some cafe inside Atlantic City's Trump Taj Mahal. I ordered a roast beef sandwich on a bun that was called a pretzel bun. Soft pretzel-like in taste, but shaped like those square buns I see around occasionally. It was good, but the sort of thing I'd only want to have every 6 to 8 months. Is the pretzel bun a Philly thing no one has ever told me about?

They do a lot of pretzel rolls in Pittsburgh, although I never saw a burger on one. Maybe it's time to go back?
