Red-Hot Cheese Curds

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Anaheim Restaurant 'The Kroft' is Selling Flamin' Hot Cheetos Cheese Curds

— November 4, 2018 — Lifestyle
While it may seem like Flamin' Hot Cheetos have been used in every type of food imaginable, a restaurant in Anaheim, California just upped the ante with its Flamin' Hot Cheetos Cheese Curds. For anyone who loves cheese in both the regular and snack food form, these curds are the ultimate indulgence.

The Flamin' Hot Cheetos Cheese Curds are the work of a gastropub called The Kroft in Anaheim. Just as the name suggests, the dish consists of springy cheese curds covered in a coating of crushed Flamin' Hot Cheetos. The result is a spicy and gooey snack that makes regular old mozzarella sticks look second rate.

With other outrageous dishes such as chicken pot pie fries and chili mac and cheese, The Kroft is certainly is a great spot for some cheesy comfort food.
