  1. On today's Cheese Curd episode, what was the criteria for judging? What questions were on each ballot? Would love the fun of doing our own survey!

  2. Every time we have one of our out of town associates come for a business meeting, we try to take them somewhere to experience Wisconsin cheese curds. Many restraints/pubs have great cheese curds. If time permits, we take them to Springside Cheese in Spruce WI for the real deal. The squeak (and taste) is amazing! Thanks for the great article and promoting Wisconsin.

  3. I think Mullens cheese curds are the best and you can get them made fresh right at the cheese plant in Knowlton Wisconsin

  4. So disappointed in one of your choices! Pioneer Keg in Theresa ordered the brick cheese curds. So much more breading than cheese. Don’t waste the miles.

  5. It's amazing to pay a quick visit this site and reading the views of all friends about this paragraph, while I am also keen of
    getting experience.
