Wegman's Mozzarella Sticks

 Wegman's Mozzarella Sticks- 8.5/10 crowns

These surprised me. They were solid, like, these were good! Wegmans has an in-store food court that serves all kinds of foods like subs, pizza, and sushi, and since this seems like an unlikely place to get (good) ready-to-eat fried cheese, these definitely defied my expectations. 


 The breading: These mozzarella sticks seemed to have an actual breadcrumb breading instead of the fried outer coating, which seems more expensive to me. Point, Weggy. I also got these super fresh, so the crunch was amazing! I was very impressed with this quality.


The cheese: The. Cheese. Pull. Now, like I said I ordered these fresh so the cheese pull was very good. The cheese was hot and super stringy. I got to extend most of my arm, which attests to how good the cheese pull was, though I do believe this is subject to freshness. 


The sauce: This is where they lose me because the cup of marinara was extra money, so I did not order it this first time. I will update when I do buy the sauce. 


Overall, these were very good and I was super happy with these mozzarella sticks. The price point was also good for the quality you get, eight mozzarella sticks for $6.50. Usually the numbers are the other way around. I do think that charging extra for a cup of sauce is weird, but you win some, you lose some, I think it's worth it to try. 

Also, the idea of the Wegmans food court is a very cute unexpected date night idea because there's something for everyone and a seating area upstairs. You can even order food in advance so you could just come and pick it up. Or, you could buy them frozen and make them at your leisure at home! Great business model, in my opinion. Thanks, Weggy!

Texas Roadhouse Twisted Mozzarella

 Texas Roadhouse Twisted Mozzarella- 6/10 crowns   I am once again telling you I'm sure of what you're  thinking. Mozzarella sticks... Texas Roadhouse? And, sure, you would be right, this is certainly an odd combination. I come here for the onion flower, not mozzarella sticks. I think cheddar, not mozzarella. But you know what? These were actually decent. Worth the try, if you will. The breading: Jumping right into things, these were obviously frozen. Like, there's not going to be a sad employee in the kitchen breading twisted mozzarella cheese sticks with the bread crumbs. No. But it seemed to have a distinctive breading look instead of the fried coating which we are familiar with. Good start. ***Also! The picture on the website shows a twisted mozzarella stick shape. I have never seen that before, and still did not see them when i got my order, so that was misleading. But it's still cool to look at, so you should check that out.  The cheese: Yeah this was your standar

IHOP's Mozzarella Sticks

IHOP's Mozzarella Sticks- 7/10 crowns These are literally the *same* exact mozzarella sticks as Applebee's. I should just redirect you to that review. Speaking of  which ... Also, does that mean that IHOP is breakfast Applebee's?? The breading: Ok, girl, is there really much to say? Real bread crumbs. Good. The only thing about these breadcrumbs that isn't really my favorite is the cheese to breadcrumb ratio. There's no problem with having a lot of cheese, but my lactose a** would like more breadcrumbs to balance out the outrageous amount of dairy. The cheese: Anyway, so, the cheese always slaps. Even though my friend and I ordered takeout from the restaurant and ate them about twenty minutes after we picked them up, the cheese pull was still present. The other brands need to take note.  The sauce: It's Applebee's sauce. It's not bad. It's actually pretty good. But we all know that the sauce seems like it's made to give you st

1908 Pizzaria's Mozzarella Sticks

 1908 Pizzaria's Mozzarella Sticks- 5 crowns  These mozzarella sticks are available at my university and i have been waiting to order these, but most of the time, they are sold out! The way you order them is also off-putting-- you can only order from this restaurant online through the Grubhub app so it feels very disconnected for me. This experience overall did not hit the marks for me.  The breading: The breading was easily the best part of this experience. I liked the crunch that these had, even though the flavor was bland.  The cheese: No lie, I really feel like this cheese had no flavor. It was chewy yet bland. They were also served about room temp, so there was no cheese pull to be found. Typically this food has been served cold, and yet this was still disappointing.  The sauce: The sauce at least had flavor but it just was not a good one.  I know this review is more brief than other ones I have written but I really just don't have much to say about these mozzarella sticks
