Yesterday, Dressel’s Public House at 419 N. Euclid Ave., was featured on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. If you missed the show, catch it tonight at midnight, or Friday, Nov. 16 at 8 p.m. If Guy Fieri doesn’t manage to convince you to try the Dressel’s Pretzel, though, this picture should.

The Dressel’s Pretzel has been on the menu at Dressel’s Public House for so long, it’s been perfected. The dough, yeasty and soft, is twisted into a log, poached, set aside to rise and then baked to order. It comes to your table fresh from the oven with a golden exterior and a shower of coarse sea salt glistening on top. This bread has pull, so when you break it apart, the pale dough stretches. And when you eat it, you gotta chew. Dunk a piece in the rarebit – a bold blend of cheddar, cream, mustard, beer and a dash of hot sauce – for a final touch that makes this bread truly brilliant.
