\"\"<\/p>\n

I thought I\u2019d seen all the shapes fried mozzarella could come in: cylindrical, square-ish, flat (looking at you, TGI Fridays), wedges, balls, curds\u2026 but I can confidently say that Burger King has surprised me with its new Mozzarella Fries.<\/p>\n

To be clear, it\u2019s not the \u201cMozzarella\u201d part that\u2019s new, just the conjunction with the \u201cFries\u201d part. Burger King has had a more traditionally named and shaped order of mozzarella sticks on its menu before, but like its beloved poultry predecessor, the Chicken Fries, this new creation takes those standard sticks and stretches them into a longer, thinner shape (no potatoes are actually involved) and plops them into a cute and colorful carton for convenient\u2014and showy\u2014snacking. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, I did have some confusion about whether they were intended to be an appetizer or the main event. I ordered mine from the \u201cSides\u201d section on the kiosk, which seems pretty self-explanatory, but I was also given the more meal-esque option of 4, 8, or 12 pieces and an offer to actually \u201cMake it a meal?\u201d by adding, well, regular fries. That seemed like a bit of a stretch (no pun intended), so I demurred, but I still ordered the largest size and got something that at least resembled a proper dinner in terms of portion, if not nutritional content.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anyway, the ideal mozzarella stick for me is one with cheese that\u2019s dense rather than stretchy, with the mozzarella and the breading being such distinct entities that you can nibble the breading off entirely without marring the solid contents within. That, as I guessed just by looking at them, is not the experience provided by the Mozzarella Fries. The cheese and the breading here are quite codependent; when you take a bite of the thick, crisp outside, the hot, runny inside instantly loses its shape, oozing out in an Instagram-worthy cheese pull.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The thinness of these sticks makes them quite brittle, too: a good portion of my order was bent or snapped completely in half, which didn\u2019t really detract from the quality but was interesting to note in comparison to the sturdier, stabler conventional mozzarella stick.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And just like it doesn\u2019t have much of its own shape, the mozzarella doesn\u2019t have much of its own flavor either. The toasty breading, which was fried potently enough to give off a powerful smell and had a small bit of zest from a spice I couldn\u2019t identify but whose presence I appreciated, made up most of the taste experience. Even when I nibbled some of the stretchy cheese on its own, I was hard-pressed to come up with a description for it. It was just mild (and perhaps even, as the kids would say, \u201cmid\u201d). <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These come with marinara sauce on the side, which seemed like a sensible way to jazz things up\u2026 but don\u2019t be fooled. I was mildly concerned upon opening my packet and seeing a dark, gelatinous mass that looked more like barbecue sauce. I should have heeded that discomfort because the sauce was so acidic it tasted like I was dipping my Mozzarella Fries in straight vinegar.<\/p>\n

Overall, though, these still provided a great experience\u2014the novel fry shape and the joyfulness of mozzarella sticks, in general, were fun enough that I was happy to overlook the fact that they\u2019re ever so slightly lackluster. Apologies for being cheesy, but there is \u201cmozz\u201d to like!<\/p>\n
