I ordered a large order of cheese curds at Tom's Drive In on CB in Neenah. This is more along the lines of what I expect from a fast food restaurant, as in bland.
I'll start with the good:
The portion size was very good. I ordered the large which was a bit more expensive I got quite a big load of curds. The breading was cooked well, nice color and crunchiness. The cheese was almost well melted, just a bit short.
Now the bad:
This is one of the first times I've ever had an order of fried cheese curds that I didn't want to finish. The breading was overpoweringly bland. Not just a taste of nothing bland, but a bland that sucks the flavor out of your mouth. The cheese while having a decent texture lacked flavor as well. When I peeled the breading off of a couple curds to get a gauge of what the actual curd tasted like I was still disappointed. This cheese doesn't provide much of a base. I also tried the breading by itself, it tasted like flour and hot frying oil ( this is not a compliment).
Overall Score: 3 out of 10
I can't even imagine a dipping sauce that would save these.
