As someone from Wisconsin, your cheese curds were spot on! Hope you enjoyed them. If you can find fresh cheese curds there pick those up and leave them at room temperature. I grew up calling it squeaky cheese because the fresh cheese squeaks when you chew.
Wisconsinite here. The best curds are found in the middle of the state in the small towns. There are cheese stores that sell right out of the farms up there. The best curds are warm, and squeak when bitten into~
I grew up in Wisconsin. As a kid, we use to get fresh, still warm, cheese curds from a local dairy. That is the true "squeaky cheese" you hear people talk about. If you ever get a chance, you need to try fresh cheese curds. There's nothing else like them.
That's essentially the way I remember learning about cheese curds. My dad was the local Culligan dealer, so helped a lot of dairies with their water issues. We would visit dairy farms now and then to check in on Dad's customers. Most always in time for fresh cheese curds! We never fried them. You lose the squeak that way!
You got it bud, the only way to try them is fresh still warm. I never realized how many ppl here in Wisconsin have never eaten the fresh & still warm. Then again I was born in 1967 and was prb a more common thing when I was a kid. Oh crap that right "Go Pack Go"😅
Wisconsinite here. I’m not sure how I missed this video when it first came out and excited you tried one of our fair foods. As others have mentioned, if you were to come here, you definitely should attend the State Fair in the summer and then maybe Brewers baseball game. Been watching your content for years and I love your reaction to the cultural things that make up the fabric of who we are as a country. It reminds us Americans how good we really have it here and to appreciate this beautiful place. All the best on your continued success and happiness!
@@Chris-kk6cw sadly beer and me because of medications I am on do not do well together, so you will have to drink a beer for me, but do not get between me and the cheese LOL.
I am from Wisconsin .. and If I can give you a tip, after you batter them, put them in the freezer a few minutes to firm them up before deep frying them ..
As a person, born and raised in Green Bay Wisconsin. I never had a fried cheese curd in the last few years was the first time. Usually eat cheese curds fresh from the cheese store warm and squeaky just by themselves or I make a cheese sandwich. They have an excellent cheese pull. Try a beer brat. It’s a grilled pork sausage after it, grilled. Place all the grilled sausages in a sauce, pan in a saucepan, covered with any beer and a few slices of onion and heat it up just before it comes to boil pull it out put it in a hotdog bun. Enjoy with either sauerkraut, onions and mustard.😋 Thank you
Awesome snack. I can say that fresh cheese curds are a great Wisconsin delicacy. You will know they are fresh (made within 72 hours) when they "squeak" when you bite into them. Plain unfried cheese curds are delicious with a little sea salt sprinkled on top and alongside a good Wisconsin beer (or a cold glass of white wine) or a cold mug of Sprecher's Root Beer. Also curds come in more varieties than just plain cheddar cheese and Wisconsin cheese houses pride themselves on a wide assortment of flavored cheese curds like Cajun seasoned, fresh herb and onion or BBQ.
Wisconsinite here, you guys are so awesome but i never thought youd do something related to Wisconsin! I found you YEARS ago when you reacted to "the bad man arron rodgers" and Wisconsinites have loved you ever since! Much love from WI!!!❤❤
I was 34 years old when I moved to Wisconsin. I am originally from Kansas but have lived all over the country including 10 years in Alaska. Never did I think about Wisconsin.... It is easily my favorite place I have ever been!
Wisconsinite here! I've had the pleasure of eating cheese curds fresh the day they were made. They are glorious little bites of squeakiness that you just have to experience! If you come to Wisconsin, I HIGHLY suggest touring a cheese factory!
Cheesehead here (person from Wisconsin). In addition to the battered style, you can also do them breaded. Standard "flour-egg-(fine) bread crumbs". Then toss them in the freezer in portioned bags. When you get a hankering for curds, drop them (still frozen) into hot oil to fry. The crispy outside with the gooey inside is absolutely wonderful.
Wisconsin here! We have the best dairy in the US. When you come visit, You need to have our deep fried cheese curds, our “squeaky cheese” cheese curds, our bratwurst, and our craft beer. The German state!
If they don't squeak, they ain't what you seek. 😁 Nothing like a fresh Wisconsin cheese curd. Everyone knew the day they could get the fresh ones locally and they sold out quick.
I grew up 20 minutes south of the Wisconsin State line in Illinois. We regularly drove up to the Dells and Lake Geneva and to Green Bay to see family. The highlight of our family trips to Wisconsin were the cheese curds. There is no shortage of cheese shops in Wisconsin. The man I married had grown up on a farm but NEVER had cheese curds in his life. So, I took him to Wisconsin for the weekend and introduce them to him. If you ever go to Wisconsin, you have to try the deep-fried cheese curds and the cheddar/brat and beer soup! Just about every restaurant sells both. Bon Appetite!
Omg, beer cheese soup! Had it for the first time in Wisconsin and we learned how to make it at home. It’s so good. Comfort food. Could just drink it from the bowl.
You’ll love Wisconsin!! My husband grew up there and we lived there for 4 years before going full-time in our RV. Fresh cheese curds are better than deep fried in my opinion. Wisconsin is the cheese, sausage and beer capital. Also, every Friday is fish fry Friday.
Great job on your cheese curds. I am from a small city in Wisconsin called Manitowoc. When you visit Wisconsin try going up the coast of Lake Michigan. In Manitowoc there is the Wisconsin Maritime Museum and an actual WWII submarine. Manitowoc made 27 WWII submarines. There are 2 types of cheese curds in Wisconsin. Fried which you made, and fresh. The best fresh curds come straight from the dairy. They are kept at room temperature and will squeak when you eat them raw. I honestly didn’t know that badger came from miners not the animal. Learned something new.
WI girl here! One tip, get your oil hot before you put the cheese curds in the batter, then you can drop them directly in to the oil from the batter, one at a time. Fresh cheese curds (not deep fried) are squeaky on your teeth when you eat them. If you ever come to WI, you will definitely rate them at least a 12. Lol!
actually Wisconsin is known as the Cheese Head state really as Green Bay is there and they have some of the best dairies in the states. they make some great cheese some that only exist in the state.
Exactly what I was thinking. Everyone needs to like your comment so Atlanta actually sees it. Could you IMAGINE the type of injury she would get if she had dropped that? Third-degree burns. I hope she never does that again.
I have a culinary degree it's fine if your careful this is why kids are scared to do anything crazy parents Atlanta as a real chef you're fine carry a pot or pan of oil just be careful and definitely have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen that's not a joke
Y'all are so overreacting I'm a chef we do this all the time in restaurants i worked in fine dinning as a chef just be careful and talk she is not a noob
@Majorpain32677 Clearly, having a culinary degree does not make you an authority. You are NOT a real chef. Our comments were not because she is a kid... no one, and I mean NO ONE, should be carrying boiling hot oil across the room. You do not actively promote very unsafe practices just because you "have a fire extinguisher" nearby. I have reported you for misinformation.
Actually, I was born and raised just south of the Wisconsin border in northern Illinois and we used to go to Wisconsin all the time and along with cheese curds you also have to try some of the craft beers that they have and Wisconsin you can get them all over the state. It seems like everybody makes their own flavor of beer, Wisconsin. Has a large German community.
Wisconsin girl born and raised! Love batter dipped cheese curds especially from the fairs around the state. My fave! Wisconsin is known as The Dairy State! We have some.of the best cheeses in the country!🎉
I live in Illinois just across the Wisconsin line. Love those cheese curds! My dad was from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. You need to come to the Wisconsin State Fair.
Another Wisconsin girl here. You did real good with these Atlanta. I am from Green County in the very southern part of Wisconsin. We are one of the big cheese producing county's. We also have a huge festival here every 2 years, on even numbered years, called simply 'Cheese Days'. It celebrates all things cheese along with the large local Swiss heritage. If you ever come this way to try our cheese this is a time you can try many varieties from cheesemakers all over the state. The is a small community about 15,000 but brings in up to 100,000 on this weekend. It is the 3rd weekend in September in Monroe Wisconsin in 2024 and then not again till 2026. If you are big cheese fans it might be a stop to aim for. Glad you liked one of our favorite snacks.
Nice job, Atlanta! You make me want to try the recipe. Just so you know, when deep frying, don't put the oil any higher than 2/3 of the pot. The oil will always bubble up higher than it's original heoght. If you are going to Wisconsin in early August, the state fair will be operating. Their cream puffs are hugh and so light you have to hold them down or they will float away. Also in Wisconsin some creese productions kitchens may offer tours of how cheese is made. Interesting stuff.
Wisconsin here! There is such a variety of cheeses here it's genuinely insane! The best cheese curds are fresh from the farm which some of the bigger one have their own shops where they sell cheeses, milk and fresh ice cream! Wisconsin cheeses win world competition categories all the time, and with 90 out of 1200 licenses cheesemakers here considered 'Master Cheesemakers" you can see why. A great opportunity if you like cheese is to come here but not sure if that's actually worth the trip. LOL
Wisconsin boy living in Texas! I miss fresh cheese curds! I can get deep fried curds at some restaurants, but nothing fresh. If you go to Wisconsin, and you should, some things you need to see, in order, are the House on the Rock, the Horicon Marsh, especially in Spring/Fall when the geese come thru. Be sure to climb to the top of the Holy Hill Shrine and Basilica for an incredible view. Summerfest and Octoberfest are great. Try the bratwurst!
Another thing to try is the American Player's Theater near Spring Green. They perform in an outdoor natural amphitheater. Lots of Shakespeare performances. I remember as a kid seeing Midsummer Nights Dream and the fairies run to the stage from through the audience.
Born and raised in Wisconsin near the cheese curd capital of Wisconsin. Ellsworth is the town and they have a creamery where you can get fresh cheese curds each day. They have a variety of flavors there including taco, ranch and dill. They even have a cheese curd festival! Love your channel! Keep it up.
You guys have to visit! The last time I was there, I went to "Cave of the Mounds" and "Old World Wisconsin". It was interesting to see actual huge caves and go through years of history of Wisconsin in one park. I actually made butter😅
You've done my state of Wisconsin well Atlanta! Looks like you did an awesome job with the deep fried cheese curd. And you are correct cheese curds is non aged cheddar. I use to work at a cheese plant and separated the curds!
Born and raised in WI and you really need to get some fresh/real cheese curds of all types and flavours! Also, be sure to try the beer batter deep fried cheese curds next you're near WI!
One of the favorite dishes in Canada is poutine. It consists in hot french fries topped with cheese curds and hot beef gravy. There are recipes on-line, if you would want to try this dish.
Loving this! As someone who has a passion working with middle and high school youth (church) I love seeing her personality and unfiltered thoughts shine through! Amazing family, keep up the great posts guys! Won't be long before we see this from Denzi I expect. That being said, if you are ever interested in an amazing week long camp, please reach out. We love our international kids!
I used to work with a lady from Wisconsin. We became good friends. Whenever she would go back home to visit family she'd bring us back some cheese curds. Love the squeak! Culver's is a fast food place from Wisconsin and they have spread all over the Midwest. They have some great fried cheese curds kind of like what you made today. You are now just a step away from making poutine, which is a Canadian dish.
fresh cheese curds are the best alot of our small towns have cheese factories were the milk from the farmers are made into cheese at these factories Cheese curds are fresh, bite-sized bits of unaged cheese that form during the cheese-making process. They are most often consumed throughout the northern United States and Canada. you know you have fresh curds we also eat them not deep fried they are good n salty flavor when there fresh they squeak
cheese curd is the left over curdled milk, when making cheese, it is also known as squeaky cheese because it squeak when it is fresh . it is popular in many states including northern new york. one of our delicacies, along with salt potato's sour dough bread, bullheads( a small catfish) and limburger cheese to name a few. limburger cheese has a sharp pungent taste if you can get it past your nose.
This is correct however Wisconsin cheese houses go a step further and "mill" their cheese curds in a specific way different from NY and OR. It is based on a Swiss tradition. That is why they have a more saltier taste...and you will find several different varieties of cheese curds in Wisconsin. They experiment with some crazy flavors up there.
I'm in Northern NY,,, Cheese Curd is so delicious cold and fresh. If it's not squeaky and a tiny bit salty, it's not fresh enough for me. (In My Opinion) We have a cheese factory locally and we always get it on Tuesdays (since that is the day they deliver it fresh to a local store here.)
You're incorrect. I come from a family of Wisconsin cheesemakers. My father won the national championship twice. Curds are an integral part of the process of making cheddar. That process is called appropriately enough "cheddaring." They are not made from left over curdled milk.
If using fresh cheese curds (squeaky cheese) - put a few cheese curds on a plate, spread them out a little, then put them in the microwave until they are just golden brown - time varies depending on how many cheese curds & microwave. This was one of my favorite childhood after school snacks - so good!
My husband’s family is from Wisconsin and I had the pleasure of visiting once when our daughter was young. We were introduced to cheese curds. Omg, fell in love with it. Of course we had to bring some back and then started ordering them to be sent to us in Oklahoma. Every time my in-laws went to Wisconsin they brought us back cheese curds. Never thought to deep fry them though I love fried cheese. We just ate them out of the bag. When fresh, they do make a squeaky sound when they rub against your teeth, a sound kids just love. They can be frozen and thawed later. I do love cheddar fried in tempura batter. Dip it in yellow mustard. SO good! I first tried that in Colorado, along with mushroom tempura. Both are pure heaven.
THIS IS SO COOL ATLANTA!!!👍That package with the recipe cards and box is awesome🙌 I love cheese curds, I’m so glad you made them, they look delicious😋🧀🙌💕👍👍
As a Wisconsinite, there is nothing like getting these fresh from the farm when they are still warm. They just may be the best thing you will ever eat. 😁If you guys do ever get here and come up to the North woods (rural Northern WI) I could take you guys out fishing and hopefully do a shore lunch.
I started baking at 14 yr old...so happy seeing Atlanta baking and cooking... will send my cookie recipes and a special chocolate cake recipe that will rock your socks off
You go Atlanta!! I've followed your father for a long time with his NFL videos. But now I follow the family, and so great to see you growing up and doing your own thing! Awesome, thanks for the content!!
Sorry to say, you need to come to Wisconsin to get a proper cheese curd. Yes, fried cheese curds are a thing and they are relatively popular. In fact, fried everything is a thing here, to an extent you would likely find insane. That said, the best cheese curds are not fried. They are factory fresh. This is not something you can order online (there are some places that claim they sell fresh, but while acceptable, they are just not top tier curds). I'd personally recommend buying directly from the cheese factories, but that would require a special trip. As an alternative, there are cheese stores and local grocers that get fresh cheese (usually on a weekly basis). If you ever visit the dairy state, then I'd strongly recommend giving it a try.
As someone from Wisconsin fried cheese curds are good but nothing beats fresh same day made warm squeaky cheese curds right from a local cheese factory which are all over the place here. We are the cheese state for a reason.
Actually the curds should be cheddar and salty like Feta, so it sounds like you got good ones. Some of your curds were too big. Ideally those bigger ones you'd cut in half or thirds. The secret to deep frying cheese curds is freezing them first, then putting in the batter. Use beer to replace some of the liquid. Then your cheese doesn't melt too fast and doesn't start to escape the batter before the coating is cooked and crunchy. ☺️
Lol... I love Atlanta so much. She's a natural talent. She's gonna do well for herself...even if she just keeps doing what she's doing. "Food of the World".... Yea...I could see that taking off.
cheese curds are the solid part of what will become cheese. Its part of the separation of Curds (cheese Solids) and Whey (cheese liquid). the solids when clumped together make hard cheese after being squeezed for every bit of liquid to get out. Whey is used as a protein booster in a lot of products and can be given to livestock. Some curds are cooked to make this but the majority of solid cheese is curds. when cheese is made a natural enzyme called Renit is added to milk. this enzyme makes the milk turn almost solid and once an blade is introduced you get blocks of semi-solid cheese but agitated again you get curds. drain out the Whey and pack the curds into a wooden mold and you get the beginnings of cheese. press all liquid out and put into a aging room and in a year you get a great wheel of cheese. cheese is one of oldest foods out there and is labor intensive hence why it costs so much. you need the right conditions, time, humidity, friendly bacteria, and even the aging spot is picked with care. do not ever mess with a cheese maker or a cheese seller as they really know their stuff and they will call you out on things.
I feel silly saying this but I’ve watched y’all’s videos for so long, it’s cool to see your kids grow up! They have definitely grown and matured. I live in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. So naturally I love your daughter’s name. Excellent choice. She has so much personality and so confident. I’m sure y’all are proud parents!
As a wisconsinite I love a good cheese curd, when I make my at home I use lard as the frying medium. The reality is outsiders that visit Wisconsin often find fresh cheese curds to be left out of convenience store counters the first day. This is for the reason of how they squeak when bitten. That is the sign of how fresh they are.
Ive just recently discovered NZ fam. Atlanta is my favorite, she is an absolute doll (I mean that in the most appropriate way possible cause im not new to the internet) her reactions are so much fun. Also this is how you learn little one, experiemnt and try things. But also I hope you have been very well informed on grease fires and what to do. Its very serious thing that an quickly go wrong.
its so awesome how she recreates american foods for you back home! growing up in the city with the convenience you all liked here in the usa but we moved to the country it was a huge adjustment with no fast food or favorite restaurants! things got easier once I started creating our favorites at home. so far no complaints from any kids!
I'm not from Wisconsin, but I can tell you that cheese curds are one of the greatest foods you can get at a bar or hamburger stand. They go great with a cold beer. Best to eat them before they get cold. Kinda rubbery at that point, but still OK.
Cheese curds are something made during the cheese making process before it sets into cheese. Fun fact: There are three American states known for their cheese, cheddar in particular. Wisconsin, Vermont, and Oregon.
From the looks of things, the cheese curds you had are virtually the same as you would get here in Wisconsin. But with cheese curds, freshness is perhaps the most important factor. After just a day or two, a curd will be noticeably different. Honestly, I'm just impressed that you were able to find them. Even in the US, they are fairly rare outside of Wisconsin.
As someone from Wisconsin, your cheese curds were spot on! Hope you enjoyed them. If you can find fresh cheese curds there pick those up and leave them at room temperature. I grew up calling it squeaky cheese because the fresh cheese squeaks when you chew.
Yeah, we have them in AK actually too. Though typically not fried and usually with gravy
How do you know those aren't Tillamook cheese curds from Oregon?
YES! I've only had squeaky cheese ONCE in my whole 50 plus years of life! MUST leave them at room temperature or the squeak goes away.
@@idkjames add fries and you have poutine!
I'm a trucker from md, I'm in Wisconsin and the truckstop I'm at had fresh curds out. I'm a very excited tubby trucker tonight.

The is a small community about 15,000 but brings in up to 100,000 on this weekend.
It is the 3rd weekend in September in Monroe Wisconsin in 2024 and then not again till 2026.
If you are big cheese fans it might be a stop to aim for.
Glad you liked one of our favorite snacks.
Nice job, Atlanta! You make me want to try the recipe. Just so you know, when deep frying, don't put the oil any higher than 2/3 of the pot. The oil will always bubble up higher than it's original heoght. If you are going to Wisconsin in early August, the state fair will be operating. Their cream puffs are hugh and so light you have to hold them down or they will float away. Also in Wisconsin some creese productions kitchens may offer tours of how cheese is made. Interesting stuff.
Wisconsin here! There is such a variety of cheeses here it's genuinely insane! The best cheese curds are fresh from the farm which some of the bigger one have their own shops where they sell cheeses, milk and fresh ice cream! Wisconsin cheeses win world competition categories all the time, and with 90 out of 1200 licenses cheesemakers here considered 'Master Cheesemakers" you can see why. A great opportunity if you like cheese is to come here but not sure if that's actually worth the trip. LOL
Wisconsin for Biden 2024!
Wisconsin boy living in Texas! I miss fresh cheese curds! I can get deep fried curds at some restaurants, but nothing fresh. If you go to Wisconsin, and you should, some things you need to see, in order, are the House on the Rock, the Horicon Marsh, especially in Spring/Fall when the geese come thru. Be sure to climb to the top of the Holy Hill Shrine and Basilica for an incredible view. Summerfest and Octoberfest are great. Try the bratwurst!
Another thing to try is the American Player's Theater near Spring Green. They perform in an outdoor natural amphitheater. Lots of Shakespeare performances. I remember as a kid seeing Midsummer Nights Dream and the fairies run to the stage from through the audience.
Born and raised in Wisconsin near the cheese curd capital of Wisconsin. Ellsworth is the town and they have a creamery where you can get fresh cheese curds each day. They have a variety of flavors there including taco, ranch and dill. They even have a cheese curd festival! Love your channel! Keep it up.
You guys have to visit! The last time I was there, I went to "Cave of the Mounds" and "Old World Wisconsin". It was interesting to see actual huge caves and go through years of history of Wisconsin in one park. I actually made butter😅
You've done my state of Wisconsin well Atlanta! Looks like you did an awesome job with the deep fried cheese curd. And you are correct cheese curds is non aged cheddar. I use to work at a cheese plant and separated the curds!
Wisconsin for Biden 2024 Travis!

Born and raised in WI and you really need to get some fresh/real cheese curds of all types and flavours! Also, be sure to try the beer batter deep fried cheese curds next you're near WI!
Love from Milwaukee Wisconsin. They are best dipped in ranch or marinara.
Wisconsin for Biden 2024!
Native 'sconnie here. Thank you for this video New Zealand Family!
This is the best yet! I appreciate you so much Atlanta!
What a wonderful, articulate young lady. You did an amazing job hosting your own segment.
Wisconsin here excited to watch this one
Awesome! I’ve been waiting for some more Atlanta cooking!
Your cheese curds were spot on. I am originally raised in Wisconsin Minnesota is known for Wisconsin cheese curds also.
Back off Minnesota! haha Cheese curds belong to Wisconsin! haha
Congrats on getting through 25 states, Atlanta! You're halfway there! Keep up the great work! ❤ you all!
Always enjoy an episode of Atlanta’s Kitchen! ❤❤
I just love this family and love hearing them speak. Their accents are just amazing .
One of the favorite dishes in Canada is poutine. It consists in hot french fries topped with cheese curds and hot beef gravy. There are recipes on-line, if you would want to try this dish.
Loving this! As someone who has a passion working with middle and high school youth (church) I love seeing her personality and unfiltered thoughts shine through! Amazing family, keep up the great posts guys! Won't be long before we see this from Denzi I expect.
That being said, if you are ever interested in an amazing week long camp, please reach out. We love our international kids!
I used to work with a lady from Wisconsin. We became good friends. Whenever she would go back home to visit family she'd bring us back some cheese curds. Love the squeak! Culver's is a fast food place from Wisconsin and they have spread all over the Midwest. They have some great fried cheese curds kind of like what you made today. You are now just a step away from making poutine, which is a Canadian dish.
Culver's has spread south, too. I saw someone review one in Florida
fresh cheese curds are the best alot of our small towns have cheese factories were the milk from the farmers are made into cheese at these factories Cheese curds are fresh, bite-sized bits of unaged cheese that form during the cheese-making process. They are most often consumed throughout the northern United States and Canada. you know you have fresh curds we also eat them not deep fried they are good n salty flavor when there fresh they squeak
As someone who has lived on the Michigan/Wisconsin border my whole life I clicked immediately!
hey Maya, Wisconsin/Michigan for Biden 2024!
Go packers😂😂😂
cheese curd is the left over curdled milk, when making cheese, it is also known as squeaky cheese because it squeak when it is fresh . it is popular in many states including northern new york. one of our delicacies, along with salt potato's sour dough bread, bullheads( a small catfish) and limburger cheese to name a few. limburger cheese has a sharp pungent taste if you can get it past your nose.
This is correct however Wisconsin cheese houses go a step further and "mill" their cheese curds in a specific way different from NY and OR. It is based on a Swiss tradition. That is why they have a more saltier taste...and you will find several different varieties of cheese curds in Wisconsin. They experiment with some crazy flavors up there.
I'm in Northern NY,,, Cheese Curd is so delicious cold and fresh. If it's not squeaky and a tiny bit salty, it's not fresh enough for me. (In My Opinion) We have a cheese factory locally and we always get it on Tuesdays (since that is the day they deliver it fresh to a local store here.)
You eat bullheads?
You're incorrect. I come from a family of Wisconsin cheesemakers. My father won the national championship twice. Curds are an integral part of the process of making cheddar. That process is called appropriately enough "cheddaring." They are not made from left over curdled milk.
@@twngrl56 I'm sure they're fine...but good WI cheese curds do not need to be served "cold". They're just below room temp...
If using fresh cheese curds (squeaky cheese) - put a few cheese curds on a plate, spread them out a little, then put them in the microwave until they are just golden brown - time varies depending on how many cheese curds & microwave. This was one of my favorite childhood after school snacks - so good!
i was born and raised in wisconsin and i do love our cheese curds or anything with cheese so great job Atlanta
Atlanta is such a pro at hosting her cooking show. Her confidence and humor shine through....plus you gotta love a teenager in a Grandma t-shirt! 😅
My husband’s family is from Wisconsin and I had the pleasure of visiting once when our daughter was young. We were introduced to cheese curds. Omg, fell in love with it. Of course we had to bring some back and then started ordering them to be sent to us in Oklahoma. Every time my in-laws went to Wisconsin they brought us back cheese curds. Never thought to deep fry them though I love fried cheese. We just ate them out of the bag. When fresh, they do make a squeaky sound when they rub against your teeth, a sound kids just love. They can be frozen and thawed later. I do love cheddar fried in tempura batter. Dip it in yellow mustard. SO good! I first tried that in Colorado, along with mushroom tempura. Both are pure heaven.
As a Wisconsin native.. Cheese curds are life.. Even better when the squeak. We dont always fry them though. We normally eat them raw.
Wisconsin for Biden 2024!

Oh good! Atlanta's Kitchen is back!! Big thumbs up from me.
Hey y’all I’m from Chicago originally which is just below Wisconsin…cheese curds need a marinara sauce for dipping. What Atlanta made looks DELISH!!
MY goodness, you'all have grown since I first started watching.
Lots of lovely gifts from a viewer. The Amish cook book looks really interesting!
Finally. I've been waiting for more of Atlanta's kitchen.
She's awesome to watch and a natural behind the camera.
THIS IS SO COOL ATLANTA!!!👍That package with the recipe cards and box is awesome🙌 I love cheese curds, I’m so glad you made them, they look delicious😋🧀🙌💕👍👍
As a Wisconsinite, there is nothing like getting these fresh from the farm when they are still warm. They just may be the best thing you will ever eat. 😁If you guys do ever get here and come up to the North woods (rural Northern WI) I could take you guys out fishing and hopefully do a shore lunch.
@@jaelynn7575 Very true, but if you go up the river away from all the noise, the fishing is better.
SHE DID SOOOO WELL!
I started baking at 14 yr old...so happy seeing Atlanta baking and cooking... will send my cookie recipes and a special chocolate cake recipe that will rock your socks off
You go Atlanta!! I've followed your father for a long time with his NFL videos. But now I follow the family, and so great to see you growing up and doing your own thing! Awesome, thanks for the content!!
Sorry to say, you need to come to Wisconsin to get a proper cheese curd. Yes, fried cheese curds are a thing and they are relatively popular. In fact, fried everything is a thing here, to an extent you would likely find insane.
That said, the best cheese curds are not fried. They are factory fresh. This is not something you can order online (there are some places that claim they sell fresh, but while acceptable, they are just not top tier curds). I'd personally recommend buying directly from the cheese factories, but that would require a special trip. As an alternative, there are cheese stores and local grocers that get fresh cheese (usually on a weekly basis). If you ever visit the dairy state, then I'd strongly recommend giving it a try.
As someone from Wisconsin fried cheese curds are good but nothing beats fresh same day made warm squeaky cheese curds right from a local cheese factory which are all over the place here. We are the cheese state for a reason.
My daughter's and myself love watching all your family explotes, kudos to fam..p.s. love the supersonic throw back dad!!!!
Wisconsin Represent!
She seems very excited for something like this it’s kinda cute
Actually the curds should be cheddar and salty like Feta, so it sounds like you got good ones. Some of your curds were too big. Ideally those bigger ones you'd cut in half or thirds. The secret to deep frying cheese curds is freezing them first, then putting in the batter. Use beer to replace some of the liquid. Then your cheese doesn't melt too fast and doesn't start to escape the batter before the coating is cooked and crunchy. ☺️
Lol... I love Atlanta so much. She's a natural talent. She's gonna do well for herself...even if she just keeps doing what she's doing. "Food of the World".... Yea...I could see that taking off.
Finally some more Atlantas kitchen content, miss these.
I want some cheese curds now. They are normally bite sized and very tasty when warm.
cheese curds are the solid part of what will become cheese. Its part of the separation of Curds (cheese Solids) and Whey (cheese liquid). the solids when clumped together make hard cheese after being squeezed for every bit of liquid to get out. Whey is used as a protein booster in a lot of products and can be given to livestock. Some curds are cooked to make this but the majority of solid cheese is curds.
when cheese is made a natural enzyme called Renit is added to milk. this enzyme makes the milk turn almost solid and once an blade is introduced you get blocks of semi-solid cheese but agitated again you get curds. drain out the Whey and pack the curds into a wooden mold and you get the beginnings of cheese. press all liquid out and put into a aging room and in a year you get a great wheel of cheese.
cheese is one of oldest foods out there and is labor intensive hence why it costs so much. you need the right conditions, time, humidity, friendly bacteria, and even the aging spot is picked with care. do not ever mess with a cheese maker or a cheese seller as they really know their stuff and they will call you out on things.
I feel silly saying this but I’ve watched y’all’s videos for so long, it’s cool to see your kids grow up! They have definitely grown and matured. I live in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. So naturally I love your daughter’s name. Excellent choice. She has so much personality and so confident. I’m sure y’all are proud parents!
As a wisconsinite I love a good cheese curd, when I make my at home I use lard as the frying medium.
The reality is outsiders that visit Wisconsin often find fresh cheese curds to be left out of convenience store counters the first day. This is for the reason of how they squeak when bitten. That is the sign of how fresh they are.
Ive just recently discovered NZ fam. Atlanta is my favorite, she is an absolute doll (I mean that in the most appropriate way possible cause im not new to the internet) her reactions are so much fun. Also this is how you learn little one, experiemnt and try things. But also I hope you have been very well informed on grease fires and what to do. Its very serious thing that an quickly go wrong.
Another Wisconsinite cheese curd lover here! Thanks for the show :)
Cheese curd is the bomb! From Milwaukee, WI. We love your videos!
its so awesome how she recreates american foods for you back home! growing up in the city with the convenience you all liked here in the usa but we moved to the country it was a huge adjustment with no fast food or favorite restaurants! things got easier once I started creating our favorites at home. so far no complaints from any kids!
I'm not from Wisconsin, but I can tell you that cheese curds are one of the greatest foods you can get at a bar or hamburger stand. They go great with a cold beer. Best to eat them before they get cold. Kinda rubbery at that point, but still OK.
Come to Wisconsin and try our cheese curds too. Lots of different styles of batter found around the state.
Smart,good cook, pretty and funny. Atlanta your the best.
Thank you 🙏 multiple task 👏👏👏 looks great 👍 ❤NZ family. 👋
Cheese curds are something made during the cheese making process before it sets into cheese. Fun fact: There are three American states known for their cheese, cheddar in particular. Wisconsin, Vermont, and Oregon.
From the looks of things, the cheese curds you had are virtually the same as you would get here in Wisconsin. But with cheese curds, freshness is perhaps the most important factor. After just a day or two, a curd will be noticeably different.
Honestly, I'm just impressed that you were able to find them. Even in the US, they are fairly rare outside of Wisconsin.
As a Wisconsinknight,this is the best cheese curds I’ve seen out of the state.
Congrats on 25 Atlanta!! I love every episode but this one reminded me of me trying to fry food so one of my favorites!😂
You said Elreno Oklahoma perfectly!👍
Fresh purple grapes and chunks of melon are really good with cheese snacks.
