Grate State Fried Cheese Curds
If you haven't had a fried cheese curd, well, you just haven't lived. A Wisconsin specialty, we take these fresh squeaky curds (unaged cheese) dunk them in a thick cheesy beer batter then fry them up until crisp and golden on the outside and gooey, melty, cheesy on the inside. Sprinkle them with an extra dose of cheese with our Grate State gouda and chive blend.
These are a required topping for our Sheboygan Brat Burgers
