I think I found the recipe that is REALLY close to the real thing:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/homemade-soft-pretzels-recipe/index.html
I halved the recipe (since there are only 2 of us at home) and I wished I had done the full one. It's that good... I haven't tried doing it in a stick form because I don't have a really wide spatula but it tastes so darn close to the pretzel bread at LC I can't help but post it.
BTW, I don't have pretzel salt either. I used kosher. It's ok tasting but I bet it's spectacular if I had real pretzel salt.
Oh, if you want to see the episode just search on youtube. The whole episode is divided into 2 posts on youtube (maybe it was too long or something).
Have fun trying!
