5 Ways To Determine You Are Eating A Quality Mozzarella Stick

It's more than just the cheese pull.

As in avid mozzarella stick lover, this article is to help you make sure you get the most out of your mozz stick. Mozzarella sticks are everywhere. The diner, fast food chains, your local pizza place, restaurants, and even the frozen foods section of your supermarket. But what makes a mozzarella stick one worth eating? See if your favorite mozzarella stick meets these criteria:

1. Breading

Is it seasoned? Is there enough breading so the cheese doesn't ooze out? Is it batter or is it breadcrumb? If your mozzarella stick looks like a rectangular artificial box with barely any seasoning in it, unfortunately, it's time to find a new mozz stick.

2. Size

Are you getting your money's worth? Rule of thumb, if you can fit an entire mozzarella stick in your mouth, probably not. Now listen, any mozzarella stick serving varies between 4-6. You might as well be getting a decent size mozz stick to eat. It's not just an appetizer, it's a lifestyle.

3. Thickness

Thickness is everything. The breading to cheese ratio has got to be just right. If it's even a little bit off, you will be spending a million years trying to chew through one bite. You don't want to be eating only the cheese. If it is too thick, it also won't give you the crispiness and melted cheese we are looking for.

4. The Cheese Pull

The best part of a mozzarella stick, hands down. There's no fun in eating it if there's no cheese pull. Just make sure when you take a bite of the mozzarella stick, all the cheese doesn't pull out, leaving you with just a sad breadcrumb shell. Major L.

5. Marinara Sauce

The mozzarella stick could be superb, but it can easily be ruined with the wrong side of marinara sauce. It can't be cold, it can't be too salty (drawing the attention away from the mozz stick), and it can't be too watery (making the mozz stick all soggy).

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
