Friday Daydreamin': Fried Cheese Curds




I lived in Utah for almost 4 years. I will tell you right now that Utah is NOT known for their food. It's a beautiful place to visit if you are into skiing, hiking and other outdoorsy activities.

I don't do any of those things. I lived within 10 minutes of a ski resort and still didn't find a reason to learn to ski.

Many people that go to Utah to ski or drive through the state on their way to somewhere else; find themselves in Ogden.

If this happens to you, I highly recommend staying near Downtown on Historic 25th Street because the best restaurants are in this area. There is also a movie theater, bowling alley and a little shopping.

If you DO find yourself in Ogden Utah, you MUST find Soul and Bones BBQ. Do not let the fact that it is next door to a strip club deter you. You have to order the Fried Beehive Cheese Curds! They are little bits of white cheddar cheese that is beer battered and fried. It's served with dipping sauces and is the only thing I miss about the state of Utah.  I'm sorry to tell you that you can't order a beer with your curds because Utah is stingy with their liquor licenses,  but there IS a beer pub a block away....or you can hit up the strip club.  I KID!

  5. I first read this at Fried Beehive Cheese Turds. Curds sound much better. I love anything fried and bring on the dips. I'm a dipper. (And sometimes if It's just M and I, I'm a double or triple dipper).

  8. How weird! No beer at a BBQ place??? I'm not a beer drinker, but seems a little odd not to be able to serve it at a place like that!

  12. The word "curd' creeps me out a little, it does rhyme with turd, but it is fried cheese, so how could it be bad?

  15. I've heard of these things for years and have never had'em.

    Need to change that.

    But I'm not sure I can find them anywhere in Texas.

    A fried Twinkie...sure. A fried stick of butter...sure.

    A fried cheese curd...not so much.

  16. Can I tell you how long I've been dying to try fried cheese curds? Sadly, I have of yet to find this on any DC area menu.

  17. The name cheese curds sounds pretty gross, but I tried them at Culver's once and man oh man, are they good!!! I'm not sure if that chain is national.

  18. Utah native...I've lived here for 29 or my 31 years and you are correct. Unless you deem good food...tater tot casserole.

    I am not a great cook...at all. But I refuse to make casseroles for the most part. I'm anti-cass like that.

  19. Do they still squeak when they're fried? Because I love me some cheese in any manner or form, but the rubbery/squeakiness of cheese curds weirds me out a bit, I have to concede.
