If NALF isn't sponsored by the german baking industry yet, he really should be =)

Damn Nalf is becoming German to a point where he soon will be growing Socken in Sandalen :D

Eine Gänseblümchenkrone!!! Da werden Kindheitserinnerungen wach..

It is utterly fascinating, how watching an american in germany makes me, a german, appreciate germany so much more. What we take for granted... isn´t. Weekends like that? Pretty standard. Yet, to an outsider, different and interesting. "Utopic" even. How about that.

They should really crown you for Brandambassador Schwaebisch Hall

"After practise, I went to the gym". A sentence nobody will ever hear from me. 🤣

Must be hard for Nalf now that Speedy and Cody have another child and he is not alone anymore.

Actually, the bakery at REWE is not a supermarket bakery, but an outlet of a "real" bakery (Kern, in your case) which has subleased some space in the entry space of the supermarket. You'll find that very often in Germany. Those supermarkets often additionally have their own bakery corner inside the main shop with some machinery frequently heating up dough pats to different types of rolls, bread and sometimes even croissants, baguettes or pretzels.

Nalf's Brezolophy: It's all about the contrast of crunchyness and softness.

The German appreciation of the simple things in life (butter pretzel, beer, nature) could teach the rest of us a thing or two.

Yep, that Laura steals the show every time!

haha, after seeing Laura in the thumbnail i was waiting all video for her appearance and what a cliffhanger that it took until the last two minutes😀 You two together emit such good vibes =)

Daumen hoch für die Gänseblümchenkrone! 🌼👑

The Brezel review I never knew I needed.

I like how Nalf makes a science out of ordinary pretzels.

I've been a 'professional' butter spreader at a local gas station and I'm slicing the whole Brezel. All the Brezel is spread with butter ;) a lot of my regulars and I guess Germans just would eat butter by it's own haha

6:15 Mike really has to work on his greeting, he will scare Germans with this

Dude. Let me say one thing, just as an observation: you appreciate the vibe and the work life balance--> you have to take into account that the same goes for bakery workers too. Although in bigger cities we have bakeries that are open longer and on weekend as well (more people can be hired to cover the shifts because "big city").

I am from Bavaria and I my opinion a proper "Butterbrezn" is cut up to the top and has butter everywhere. If the little conection parts are missed, it is ok, but the upper part has to have butter!😀

Now crowned King Nalf the first of Butterbrezel Land 🤴🏻🥨😉

New aspects of the NALF identity: brezolopher with a touch of hippiesque retro charm. Good job Laura!

Next time Nick does a video about interesting German vocabulary, I think Gänseblümchen needs to be included. Little Goose Flower for Daisy, how cool is that!

There is a festival in honor of the pretzel in my hometown Speyer every year in July :D A traditional bakery sells Brezeln in several tiny glass houses (all year round). You can also get Butter Brezeln. People either love or hate the traditional ones since the dough is a bit different. I personally (as a kid from Speyer) think Speyrer Brezeln are way better than the ones from bakery chains. I would be happy to hear your opinion about it. It's not far from Hall and a trip could be combined with the german wine route, also known as german tuscany. It is worth a visit ;)

He's seriously getting the weekend vibe. Well done!

Love seeing Laura in your vids. Her English is perfect and her athleticism is right up there with Nick's.

Congrats to Cody and Speedy 🥰👶

I was in downtown Schwäbisch Hall that same saturday around 1 pm retourning to Witten (NRW) from a roadtrip to Switzerland. Your videos inspired me to take the detour from Autobahn 7 and experience that beautiful city. It was absolutely worth it and I want to thank you for your great and inspiring work.

A real prince and princess - nice time in Germany!

For the best Butter-Pretzel-Experience go to Aldi, buy a 10-pack of pretzels from the freezer. Bake them at home and eat them right after they've cooled down to room temperature. Have to apply the salt and the butter yourself though. But better than any professional bakery pretzel because you can't get them any fresher anywhere. And they're much cheaper. You're welcome.

The German baking industry should make Nick a Pretzel Ambassador…

Man, I remember around 15 years ago, each morning I would drive to university and stop at a tiny local bakery. I always arrived when the fresh Bezels came out the oven and the lady would always ask if I want another butter Brezel. It was the ultimate butter Brezel.

You have to taste Kasprowicz around the Ammersee it’s the perfect bakery

Okay, I'm going to share my very secret Butterbretzel tip with you: If you ever come to the city of Schwäbisch Gmünd (which is not far from Schwäbisch Hall), you should visit the "Bäckerei Stemke" and get one there. It's a dream.

Thanks for the lovely episode Nalf. The weather looks nice this year. ☀️💐🌺

What a lovely video, with lovely ducks, lovely people and lovely vibes in a lovely town.

NALF is a Stoolie! Great video and really showed the great German weekend life.

NALF the pretzel sommelier.

When you’re done with Butterbrezel, next level is: Brezeln, out-of-the-fridge-cold-fresh-butter …. and NUTELLA. 🤤😋

Isn't life essentially all about finding good vibes? You have come a long way... 👍

It's funny how you philosophize about pretzels in every second video

Just like the ancient folk wisdom says: Nalf takes his Butter-Brezn "with a grain of salt!"

Wooooooh STOP! I missed the birth of Cody and Speedys little Bonsai. GZ Hope all are healthy

i really like how you say „Gänseblümchen Krone“ 😂

The Prince of Schwabisch Hall is also King Nalf of Italy. The royal titles keep piling up.

9:18 from my point of view it is a huuuuge failure when only the outer parts have butter in them. The Breze has to be halved completely and Butter has to go on every part, on the core as well. The crucial thing with Laugenbrezen is time and weather, if they are older than 1h the smaller core parts get hard when it is sunny the bigger ones get slushy when it is humid.

Love the weekend chill vibes 😍 i’m not a picky pretzel eater, but I agree, the environment in which you enjoy one matters most. The best pretzel I had was while visiting Salzburg at Stiegl Keller biergarten 👌🏻

That butter Brezel rating is an amazing idea im hyped to see whats gonna be the best one

Your comedic talents are great!

Some US Americans come back and have a beer addiction...you have a Butterbrezel addiction for sure! 😂

love your videos! thanks.

So funny, you should make it your job, we seriously have a shortage of official butter pretzel testers 😎

Thanks for another wonderful video!

That place is the paradise. Nice town. Love it. A hug from South America.

I am from Aalen, Germany and love your videos :)

Wow that Halbe-ordering-skills from NALF are stunning!

That was my Pausenbrot, when I went to elementary school. The local bakery was maybe 50 yards from the school, and they delivered the absolutely best Brezeln anywhere for the school, besides Broetchen or Schneckennudeln. Perfectly crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. Don't ever buy any Brezel in Northern Germany. They do not know how to make them there. You'll lose a tooth, biting into those.

Ohhh, I miss to spend our weekend like Germans do😅 Now, I find myself driving my kids around to soccer practice in Boston, doing grocery shopping on Sundays and eating unhealthy food instead of yummy German pretzels. What did I get myself into? Why did I move to Boston again? 😆

The flower crown makes you like an extra from Midsommar

My favorite is in stuttgart. on the konig strasse they have them booths who sell brezeln.

The most German part about this video is nalf being obsessed with testing and rating something.

At :51 we see the proud uncle holding his little niece's tiny, precious hand.

I also love a good pretzel. For me it's got to have plenty of salt. The flower crown bit with your fraulein there was really sweet.

Man you just never fail to make me smile :)

You need to try the butter pretzel from Krimmers Backstub in untermünkheim they are just amazing!

I'm all for the pretzel tasting! And you do look good with that crown!

You guys are such a cool couple. Greetings from Cologne, NRW.

Have you introduced Mikey to Knoppers Happy hippo and other sweets so he can get addicted to germany and won't leave until he has to?

"another day, another pretzel" get it on a shirt and wear it

Lovely - everything of it!

The lovely sunny Nalf Vlogs vibes are back.🌞😃

At 1:26 his curl form starts to deteriorate, but our hero continues with the reps. Anything for the shot. Does he really have to pump up to go to a beer garden? TSGO

So geil wie er: „eine halbe bitte“ sagt hahahahah

Proper Butterbrezel in my eyes is completely cut and has butter everywhere. It needs to be butter with a little Brezel around.

Pretzels baked in your own oven (brand ditsch / freezer) on Sunday morning take less than 15 minutes! Try it out! Advantage, you can sprinkle salt everywhere and take a new butter flake to each new bite. ;o)

Here’s the challenge…the Swabian Brezel is a little bit more buttery and soft, the Bavarian is more crunchy and a little bit more dry! 🤔…I love both, but might be interesting how you would rate the Bavarian one🤔 cheers from Munich 🍺

Thx for the short time u take us away the Dark days we had.

You should check out Bäckerei Frank in Stuttgart. They did claim to have the best pretzel in Stuttgart back when I lived there.

"it had really good moments" never thought I get to hear that in a Brezn review 😂👌👌👌

Man I love your Videos :)

Having a beer or two in the Biergarten is, and i mean it, one of the best things in life. I get goosebumps everytime…

If you want to taste the best pretzel you have to come to backery “Fuchs”Langenbrand in northern Blackforest at Sunday morning, but expect some long line

Wow, getting a Gänseblümchenkrone from a cute girl is one of the ultimate goals every guy should reach in his life! You can check that off your list ;)

Hey Nalf, have you ever tried an Anise Pretzle? In the northern part of Bavaria, known as Franconia, we have the tradition to bake Anise Pretzels between the 30th of november and "Aschermittwoch" which marks the beginning of fasting. It doesn't taste at all like a normal pretzel but to me it just brings back memories of when I was a little boy living in Upper Franconia. I hope you're doing well and and all the best from Berlin ✌

Brezel is all about the freshness, warm out ouf the oven is the best

I have to go and eat bread of some description now. Don’t talk to me until I‘ve done it. My Spitzl that I filmed for you, Nick, it’s a 10, believe me. It’s even better than it looks. Ahhhh Summer is here (yes, it is, I‘m Welsh, this is already Summer for me). I can’t believe how much I am looking forward to Biergarten vibe collecting.

I will learn from you and learn to relax too! ❤😊

We have a small bakery next to Stuttgart in kornwestheim and I drive there from Stuttgart because their Brezeln are so damn good. It's called Danemann

Nalf, you HAVE to visit the Europapark Theme Park in Rust near Freiburg and then go to the 'La petite boulangerie' bakery in the France themed area!!! They have the very best butter pretzels I have ever tried and I grew up in Germany and have eaten a lot of pretzels in my life already 😂❤️

You should have included the Native German Lady Laura in your pretzel review and have a he/she review of the butter pretzels plus an American vs German perspective of a good pretzel.

I watch this vid 3 days after upload. Well, its heavy snow outside. Anyway, congratulations to the little baby girl😍😍😍

Bakeries within supermarkets are usually open longer in general

I always felt that butter pretzels are speciality in southern germany, when I want a butter pretzel I have to buy a naked one and put the butter on myself. :D

Laura, please teach him not to say "P"retzel, but "B"rezel!!!! 😆

In austria it is common to slice the whole Bretzel, so there is butter everywhere. The crunchy parts of the Bretzel with Butter tastes really awesome. Come and check it out! 🇦🇹

how often I went with the mindset "I can get everything anytime" in the USA and was disappointed it closed so early. Even in the bigger cities like chicago, some food outlets closed at 3 or 4 pm.

Butterbrezel-reviews by world-renowned pretzel-connoisseur Nalf? Yes, please more of that!

3:53 Other people want to have a relaxed weekend too! Especially when you work in customer service all week. Your videos kinda make it seem like all you ever eat are Butterbrezeln. 😅

Ever thought about checking out the bakeries' opening hours on weekends? They even put in on their doors.

Haha, oh I know so well how it feels to want a Butterbrezel or sth on a saturday or sunday afternoon and every bakery is closed ^_^ The Rewe in our town has a bakery in it but sadly it's a subpar chain and their stuff is really mediocre. The good thing is that the good chain bakery at the train station is open till 6pm on the weekend, the bad thing is that you can never be sure what they have left because they are the only one open and everyone goes there. And if you ever happen to be in Plochingen by any chance (maybe changing trains), if they are open you have to try a Brezel at the Bäckerei Berger that's 1 min away from the train station. They've been a little bit inconsistent the last 2 years but 50/50 you'll either get a really good Brezel or you'll get the best Brezel ever imo :D

Don't be silly: You have been here long enough to know that real bakers are not open anymore late Saturday afternoon. But otherwise, the town looks wonderful.
