Snack food, bar food, served piping hot with spicy mustard at the ball game… pretzels are everywhere with their crunchy, salty goodness. But that crunch and the salt can do one better than just being paired with beer and baseball; here, we coat a succulent, juicy pork chop with pretzel perfection. And just to keep in the familiar, we give you a Dijon mayo for a seriously yummy flavor pairing. You'll never look down on snack food again.
