It’s National Pretzel Day and we’re celebrating with Adam Shapiro, the actor behind Shappy Pretzel Co. 🥨 From Philadelphia street corners to Hollywood red carpets (and the Oscars!), Adam shares how his childhood snack became the talk of Tinseltown.
Gemma and Ami dive into pretzel history, Girl Scout cookies, viral $19 strawberries, and the emotional power of nostalgic food. Plus, baking with lye: scary or satisfying?
🥨 IN THE MIX – What We Covered:
• Philly vs. Bavarian pretzels: what’s the difference?
• How Adam built a pretzel empire during lockdown
• The science (and fear) behind using lye in baking
• Nostalgic flavors from Philly school pretzel days
