Soft Pretzels | The Philly Food Show

Remember what you were doing at 4:00 in the morning on October 17th, 2007? Didn't think so. But the producers and camera crew of The Philly Food Show remember: we were in the bakery area of the Center City Soft Pretzel Company, eavesdropping on the process of turning 450 pounds of yeasty dough into 1,700 pretzels. Watch the pretzel makers at work while the rest of us sleep.

@morgue666666 or the fact that they arent using any gloves is rather disgusting actually

[morgue666666]

I honestly mean no harm,,,,,,but,,,,if the health department ever had a look at your daily operation while this employee cutting the dough was there,,,you would be shut down for good. I'm sure your product is great tasting,,they look to be delicious, but you MUST correct and train these folks a bit of cleanliness. Good luck to you.

@MrSouthphillyitalian Why would you say it to me? I don't have a food service business. But, if I did I can guarantee you that I wouldn't explain away what looks like a little lax hygiene (the guy is wearing what looks like his personal sweatshirt instead of a company issue apron that comes from a professional cleaners) by telling people that it happens in other places. You take steps to worry about your company and not what McDonald's does. I don't say it to insult you or your product.

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

@eatsmeat I should be actually saying that to you 

[eatsmeat]

@MrSouthphillyitalian Because it happens in one place doesn't mean it should happen everywhere.

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

@eatsmeat im guessing you never ate at a mcdonalds

[Jim21680]

There is no better snack on this Earth! And I don't mean just any "Philly soft pretzel"...I mean pretzels from Center City Pretzel Co. 

Anywhere else just doesn't compare!

@SmokeRises

You're right. This place looks like the most disgusting un-hygenic piece of crap place. Maybe all the crap on the guy's clothes is the secret ingredient that gives the pretzels that extra umph.

real pretzels are hand twisted.
