Mom was in attendance at this year’s Sports Emmy Awards in New York’s Lincoln Center – Mom's Originals Gourmet Pretzels, that is.
St. Louis’-own prolific pretzel-maker was selected to be one of the items included in the official Emmy gift bag that was distributed to all 900 attendees. The ceremony, held Monday April 26, included a presentation of the 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award to legendary NFL coach and broadcaster John Madden (Vegas odds makers are betting 100 to 1 that Madden had already devoured his gourmet pretzel by press time.)

St. Louis’ own Mom’s Originals Gourmet Pretzels were among the goodies in the gift bags handed out April 26 at the 31st annual Sports Emmy Awards at Lincoln Center in New York. Jody Hensley and daughter Taran Hensley started the company in 2008 at the urging of friends and family, who loved mom’s pretzels, which are hand-wrapped in soft caramel and coated in chocolates and nuts.
