POLL: Mustard or Cheese on your pretzel? #NationalPretzelDay

SAN ANTONIO - Today, April 26th, is National Pretzel Day! This delicious food holiday is a chance to celebrate the classic, twisted snack we all know and love. You can get free pretzels today at Auntie Anne's, Wetzel's, Pretzelmaker and Bar Louie.

Where can you get the best pretzel in San Antonio?

Crysee Duber Miguel says, “At the Culinary!!” (The Culinary Institute of America)

Keith Ray says we have to “Travel to Spring Branch.”

The Screaming Goat Yard & Tap (in Spring Branch) is Nancy Alvarez’ recommendation.

Pretzels have a surprisingly long history, dating back to around the 7th century AD. Monks are believed to have created them as treats for their students, with the crossed shape resembling praying arms.

So grab your favorite pretzel, be it soft and chewy or hard and salty, dipped in cheese or mustard (or even chocolate), and join the celebration.
