And it wouldn’t be Wisconsin without a Bloody Mary, and the Waterfront Restaurant & Tavern in La Crosse serves its fried cheese curds with a Bloody Mary dipping sauce! Doesn’t get more Wisconsin than that!

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!
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.
I think Mullens cheese curds are the best and you can get them made fresh right at the cheese plant in Knowlton Wisconsin
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.
Aww, I'm bummed to read this! I very much enjoyed my trip there!
