FOOD & DRINK
Curd Crown
Showdown!
We asked our followers to help us pick the best spots for crispy,
gooey, delicious cheese curds in the Stevens Point Area, for the
Curd Crown Showdown.
Food Truck
Finds
The food truck scene in
the Stevens Point Area
is growing with plenty
of delicious options.
Cheese curds have some
seriously loyal fans in Wisconsin.
After seeking nominations and
narrowing the field to the top 8
spots by total votes, each spot
went head-to-head to send one
lucky (and tasty) spot all the
whey to the top!
And the winner
of the Curd Crown is…
Guu’s on Main.
Fans love the options when
it comes to cheese curds at
Guu’s. On the menu they come
in a range of flavors, from garlic
ranch to parmesan truffle, which
elevate the fresh curds locallysourced
from Feltz Dairy.
@ctbieri
Grab a taste on the go from
these mobile flavor makers. Here
you’ll find a wide variety from
authentic frybread (Kasuns),
Hmong Egg Rolls (Freedom Street
Egg Rolls), Walkin Frito Cup
(Everythang TACOS), Crispy Fried
Pork (Hanuman Express), Birria
Ramen (Lo Que Sea), Grilled Gyro
(KamBray’s), Pasta-filled bread
bowl (Purple Basil), and Bourbon
Barrel Smoked Beef Sandwich
(Chef C’s Munchie Mobile).
NOT SURE WHERE TO FIND THEM?
Honorable Mentions
Point After Pub & Grill
Joining the showdown seeded
as #5, Point After dominated
and nearly made it to the top
spot. Try their perfected curds
with a crispy exterior and
great cheese pull – you pick,
white or yellow – to taste what
their devoted fans love.
@foxcitieseats
PJ’s Restaurant
Making the cut after the
first round, seeded as #2,
they were bumped from the
running by Point After. They
still deserve a try, with awardwinning
cheese fried to golden
brown and served with ranch
and dried cherry-mustard aioli.
Feltz’s Dairy Store
You can’t get much closer to
the source, with this robotic
family dairy farm and store –
where the cheese is made on
site. Routinely named as some
of the squeakiest curds, order
a side of deep-fried curds on
the farm to judge for yourself.
Check them out on social media
– as many post their locations in
advance. Summer tends to be their
biggest season - with trucks lined
up at events like the Levitt AMP
music series, PRIDE, Riverfront
Jazz Festival, Pointoberfest, and
Art in the Park. (Remember most
operate seasonally.)
Still on the hunt? Make a trip to
District 1, Central Waters, and
other Central Wisconsin Craft
Collective spots, where food
trucks are known to frequent
on a regular basis.
