"At buzzy new Eebee's Corner Bar in Shaw, patrons line up early to score supersized six-inch sticks paired with marinara concealing a spicy kick."
"The handmade versions at the historic Capitol Hill dive Tune Inn are double-breaded, creating a crunchy golden crust with a gloriously gooey interior."
"Neo-Neapolitan pizzeria Stellina doesn't settle for simple sticks. Instead, the kitchen deep-fries a breaded-mozzarella sandwich finished with a snowfall of Parm."
"The golden batons at Gemini, Dupont's beloved wine shop/pasta bar, come with constantly changing condiments-perhaps spicy marinara or skordalia, the garlicky Greek dip."
Mozzarella sticks, a beloved appetizer from the 1980s, are making a significant comeback in popularity. Six Washington D.C. establishments are leading this trend with innovative takes on the classic fried cheese snack. Eebee's Corner Bar offers supersized six-inch sticks with spicy marinara, while Tune Inn serves double-breaded versions with a crispy exterior. Caruso's Grocery provides off-menu mozzarella sticks with Calabrian-chili fra diavolo sauce and basil pesto. Stellina reimagines the dish as a breaded-mozzarella sandwich topped with Parmesan. All-Purpose shapes theirs into triangles with Pecorino Romano and basil, and Gemini pairs golden batons with rotating sauce options including marinara and Greek skordalia.
