I got my first job at a pretzel bakery in Bucks County, Pennsylvania on my 16th birthday. I didn’t know it at the time, but that job would shape the next 17 years of my life.
In 2013, I was in college in Asheville, North Carolina a city full of craft breweries but not a single soft pretzel in sight. So I built a push cart, developed my own recipe, and started selling pretzels to anyone who’d try one. That was the beginning of Scott’s Knots.
Since then, I’ve twisted thousands of pretzels, refined the recipe, and brought the operation to Long Island. The push cart is gone, but the approach is the same: hand-twisted, small batch, made with intention.
I’ve been making pretzels for more than half my life. This is what I do.
