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.
"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."
