BATTERED
ONION RINGS
One of the best things about our onion rings comes from the sweetness of the onion itself which can't be beat!
We use Spanish Sweets which are grown in Idaho and Oregon and drench them in a golden crispy tempura style batter bringing you an ultimate smile with every bite.
We offer our battered onion rings in 4 different sizes from skinny 1/4" up to an eye popping 3/4". You are sure to find what you need in our selection
BEER BATTERED
ONION RINGS
These Beer Battered Onion Rings are what pub grub is all about!
Still using Spanish Sweets for our onion ring of choice we use a recipe that has 100% beer in our golden crispy batter to ensure its not watered down. In turn you taste the bold beer flavor complimenting the sweet onion every time.
We offer these in two cut sizes: a thin cut 3/8" and a steak cut 5/8".
HOMESTYLE BREADED
ONION RINGS
Onion rings are one of the most famous fast foods in the U.S. and actually has it's own holiday!
Using an onion that has a sweet and bright onion flavor is key to what makes our onion rings so popular. If you like a finer crumb style breader with all the crunch the Homestyle Breaded Onion Rings will be your go to. Always a crowd pleaser and enjoyed by all ages.
We offer these in two cut sizes: a thin cut 3/8" and a steak cut 5/8".
GOURMET BREADED
ONION RINGS
These Gourmet Onion Rings are the more "upscale & sophisticated" version of our onion ring products.
Sprinkling Japanese panko breadcrumbs which are light and delicate gives a unique crispy texture to the onion rings bringing these onion rings up a level in appearance & crunch.
We offer 3 cut sizes: a thin cut 3/8", steak cut 5/8" and a colossal cut 3/4".
BREADED MOZZARELLA CHEESE STICKS
Superior products start with quality ingredients, which is why we only use Grade "A" Wisconsin Mozzarella cheese in our cheese sticks. This impeccable Mozzarella produces the right flavor, texture, and stretchiness every time you prepare it.
With breading that only compliments and doesn't overpower the Mozzarella cheese it's no wonder these are a timeless classic.
BATTERED MOZZARELLA
CHEESE STICKS
Superior products start with quality ingredients, which is why we only use Grade "A" Wisconsin Mozzarella cheese in our cheese sticks. This impeccable Mozzarella produces the right flavor, texture, and stretchiness every time you prepare it.
Surrounded by a crunchy golden batter that is not only the perfect taste & texture combination but the batter resists blowouts which ultimately prevents waste.
BREADED
CHEESE CUBES
We are proud to offer our customers with a variety of cheese products and although our cheese curds are amazing, these Breaded Cheese Cubes are not to be overlooked!
Whether you like the spiciness of the red and green jalapeños in the Pepper Jack cheese or the smooth creaminess in our
Cheddar cheese, you won't be disappointed in these melt in your mouth bite sized craveables.
BATTERED CHEDDAR CHEESE CURDS
Who doesn't love Cheese Curds? Although known as a uniquely Wisconsin delicacy, we have taken the famous squeaky cheese and coated them with a batter and breader, resulting in an appetizer that you can't stop reaching for.
The squeak may be gone but the flavor and texture are what makes this an irresistible menu must!
BREADED JALAPEÑOS
W. CHEDDAR CHEESE
You may instantly think HOT when you think of a Jalapeño pepper however these jalapeños are a more mild spiciness when tempered by the cheese. Our jalapeños are halved and hand packed with creamy cheddar cheese before being coated in a crunchy potato flake breading.
These are true classic and were one of the best things to come out of the 80's.
BREADED JALAPEÑOS
W. CREAM CHEESE
You may instantly think HOT when you think of a Jalapeño pepper however these jalapeños are more mild in spiciness when tempered by the cream cheese. Our jalapeños are halved and hand packed with smooth cream cheese before being coated in a crunchy potato flake breading. A perfectly balanced bite!
With more and more restaurants continuing to add these to their menus, these aren't going away anytime soon.
BREADED WHOLE
BUTTON MUSHROOMS
The Fry family started out as mushroom growers before it became a full fledged appetizer company in 1961, so it's safe to say that we consider ourselves aficionados when it comes to mushrooms.
We use only "Fancy" grade mushrooms providing the best flavor, color and texture along with a high quality breader contributing to a consistent, superior product every time.
BATTERED WHOLE
BUTTON MUSHROOMS
If you have had the pleasure of eating deep fried mushrooms they were probably battered and more than likely served with a side of ranch. A classic and still popular on menus today are these button mushrooms that have been dipped into a crispy golden batter.
Although a great stand alone product, these are an ideal product to get creative too! Toppers to burgers, chicken, steak, and sandwiches, craft up seasonal skewers or even put an ethnic spin on them and serve with sweet & sour sauce. The skies the limit!
ITALIAN BREADED ZUCCHINI STICKS
The perfect fried zucchini is mild in flavor, slightly sweet but slightly bitter and has a batter or breader that not only compliments the flavor but delivers just the right amount of crunch.
Yep, you guessed it, that's what our customers get with our Battered & Breaded Zucchini Sticks. Continuing to use only "Fancy" grade vegetables helps us provide a top notch product that keeps our customers satisfied, happy and coming back for more.
We also have these in a golden crispy batter!
HOMESTYLE BREADED ZUCCHINI SLICES
It would be pretty hard to find an Italian restaurant that doesn't offer fried zucchini with a side of marinara sauce as an appetizer, but it's more than just an Italian favorite. You can find these in all types of restaurants & bars due to their versatility and appeal.
These crispy, crunchy deep fried zucchini slices are heavenly from the first bite to the last. These are another perfect standalone appetizer, but its flexibility lends itself to layering and crafting with other dishes or signature pieces.
DILL BREADED
PICKLE SPEARS
Fried pickles have roots dating back to the 1960's before they ever became a mainstay menu item at sports bars, pubs, barbecue joints and more that we see today. For several decades this crunchy sour sensation has tickled the tastebuds of its many loyal consumers.
Our Breaded Pickle Spears are in a class of their own with a generous amount of garlic and dill in the crunchy breader increasing the flavor of the dill pickle spear itself. Needless to say, these cult classics aren't going away any time soon.
BEER BATTERED
DILL PICKLE CHIPS
Another key player on the pickle menu is our Beer Battered Pickle Chips and these savory dunakables have been satisfying pickle fanatics for years!
The light crispy texture of the golden beer batter envelopes each dill pickle slice for a full flavored punch to the senses.
More and more restaurants are recasting their sandwiches to include fried pickles as the star topper bringing a whole new level of taste, texture and indulgence. Any way you eat 'em you can't go wrong.
BATTERED
CAULIFLOWER FLORETS
Cauliflower has exploded in the market and has even positioned itself as a meat alternative giving way to many new culinary creations. One trend known as Cauliflower Wings has many restaurants making room for this veggie forward option.
Our Battered Cauliflower Florets are a perfect fit for this application. Golden crispy batter surrounding tender cauliflower florets. Roll 'em, dust 'em or sauce 'em. No matter what you do with these Battered Cauliflower Bites, they are sure to be a show stopper.
BATTERED BROCCOLI & CHEDDAR CHEESE BITES
Eating veggies has never tasted so good!
Food trends consistently point to an overall goal of better health for our bodies and there has always been a direct line between vegetables and healthy eating. But let's face it, how boring is eating a stick of broccoli?!
Broccoli and cheddar are the perfect pair; it's like they were meant to be together. So of course we took tender bits of broccoli and folded in a decadent, creamy cheddar cheese sauce and dipped them in a crispy batter. It's still healthy, right?
BATTERED SWEET CORN NUGGETS
It's sweet, it's creamy and it's fried. It's the perfect trifecta of an appetizer!
Some call them corn fritters, some call them corn nuggets, either way they are so deliciously indulgent. Popularized in the South but have quickly become a favorite menu item across the states. These are a shoo-in for kids menus but don't leave them at the little kids table. Toss these in your favorite hot sauce, put a little garnish on top and you've got an instant money maker on your hands for all ages.
BATTERED
MACARONI & CHEESE
There is no food quite as satisfying as Macaroni and Cheese. Warm, cheesy, creamy, soul soothing goodness. It's no wonder why it's still one of America's favorite comfort foods.
Al dente elbow macaroni swimming in melted cheddar cheese and dipped in a crispy batter that traps all that goodness inside for a mouthwatering delight!
How could you go wrong!
We also have these in a smaller bite; check it out!
BREADED
4 CHEESE RAVIOLIS
Did you know that there was a reason behind the name of Toasted Raviolis? Oldani, who is said to have named the dish, thought toasted was more appealing than fried, but come on, who are we kidding here?
Always here to meet the needs of consumers we also offer our Breaded Raviolis in a meatless version. Our Breaded 4 Cheese Raviolis are stuffed with a delectable cheese blend of Ricotta, Mozzarella, Asiago and Romano, firing all your senses at first bite and devouring every last one!
