The Best Mozzarella Sticks Handmade In Western New York?
Mozzarella Sticks are a favorite appetizer for Western New Yorkers, but who makes the best handmade sticks?
Often, when you go to any restaurant, mozzarella sticks are frozen and cooked to order. They are bulk ordered from a provider, such as Cisco Foods, by restaurants. There is nothing wrong with this, and providers usually offer a variety of types of mozzarella sticks to choose from. There are everything from thin and bready versions to chunky and crispy types. Regardless, they are delicious and usually pretty cheap to order compared to other menu items.
Fresh Made Mozzarella Sticks are harder to come by. Because frozen ones are cheap to order in bulk, are less labor-intensive, and are faster to cook and get out to customers, most restaurants don't make their Mozz Sticks fresh. You can always tell if they do because the ingredients are very different. The mozzarella is creamer and thicker, the breading fresher, and the spices unique. Fresh-made mozzarella sticks and other variations are a much different and, dare we say, better experience.
