Long John Silver’s is getting cheesy this week with the launch of its new Wisconsin White Cheddar Cheese Bites.
Just as the name suggests, the new Wisconsin White Cheddar Cheese Bites are bite-sized balls of cheesy goodness. Each one is made with Wisconsin white cheddar cheese, which has been lightly coated in a homestyle breading, and then fried until crisp and golden. As Christopher Caudill, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Innovation at Long John Silver’s, explains, "Long John Silver’s is always looking for ways to make waves with crave-worthy food news. With our new White Cheddar Cheese Bites, we know every guest who sails with us will treasure every bite."
The new Wisconsin White Cheddar Cheese Bites are available now as a side to any combo, meal, or platter.
