The restaurant hires a chef just to make the viral mozzarella sticks.
One restaurant’s giant mozzarella sticks on Tik Tok became so popular that it hired a dedicated chef to prepare the grilled and cheesy dish.
Winchester, located in Tenerife, Spain, first received attention for its giant cheese sticks in May 2023, news agency SWNS reported.
Since then, the restaurant has hired a chef to serve up its offerings. More than 200 pounds of mozzarella cheese goes through a week to make the viral meal.
Buffalo Bills’ ‘Battle Boat’ is filled with waffle fries and amazing food.
The item is listed on the Winchester menu as “Giant Panko Mozzarella Sticks.” The dish is described as “3 giant mozzarella sticks covered in panko breading and served with your choice of dip.”
These choices are either “Chili, Lemon and Garlic Mayo”, “Jack Daniels BBQ”, “Sweet Chili Mayo” and “Extra Hot Piri Piri” sauce.
