The Pretzel Factory debuted its new cheesesteak-pretzel hybrid yesterday, marrying two of Philly’s most iconic and most beloved (yet decidedly unhealthy) foods into one big cheesy, doughy, meat-filled mess. Though the stats aren’t as bad as I first expected (340 calories, 8 g. fat, 4 g. sat. fat, 46 g. carbs, 1 g. fiber, 23 g. protein), is it worth it?
Keep in mind, that when asked to reveal where the beef stuffed inside comes from—or even what grade of meat they’re using—I was told, “everything else we must keep confidential as we do not want to make it easier for our competition to duplicate.”
For $3.50 a pop, I guess one can’t expect grass-fed.

eww. gross. (period)
the quality is what is gross, but the nutrition profile is surprisingly balanced. I expected more fat
I ate two yesterday. I don’t know where the meat comes from but it’s as good as a it gets. Worth it indeed.

They have something similar at Miller’s Twist @ Reading Terminal Market and it is good!
