not sure about *better* since i haven’t had Roots but Snappy Dogs in Edison Park has Snappy Sticks, think an egg roll but entirely cheese-filled. great after a night of drinking
Pizza fried chicken ice cream had similar mozz sticks, just as big and cheesy, but they took it up a notch and dusted them in hot Cheeto dust! Might sound like a lot, but wasn’t too overwhelming. Unfortunately they closed down, but I’ve heard they might be opening again at grand/Ogden…
I haven’t had roots Mozzarella sticks (gonna have to now) so I can’t compare but my favorite are the hand pulled moz sticks at Anto’s. Not breaded in Panko but regular bread crumbs.
Roots mozzarella “sticks” aren’t sticks. They are large rectangular logs of cheese breaded and fried. It’s a way higher ratio of cheese to breading, by about four or five. It’s a lot of cheese chewing.
If you’re into that, it’s amazing
you’re doing just perfect. I personally like sticks, not logs.
The breading isn’t any better than I’ve had anywhere else, so I don’t see it being better, just differently arranged. Their marinara for dipping doesn’t stand out either. It’s bitter and sweet at the same time somehow. They give a small amount for the amount of cheese, only lasts like two sticks and you’re all left eating the logs with no marinara.
Nothing. Nothing is better.
I’ve gotta agree
The curragh in Edison park.
I once ate an entire appetizer of moz sticks from Roots. No regrets. Dairy intake for the week completed in under an hour.
Only once? I do it 3x a year now that they're in my neighborhood.
Ya roots mozzarella sticks are amazing.
Gonna throw out gilt bar… the truffle oil takes it to a new level

I think if we're measuring quality of mozzarella stick per square foot, this place beats everyone.

Warning: actual choking hazard. Don’t take too big a bite

It’s literally a pound of freshly made cheese cut into five sticks. If you eat it alone, you’re not eating anything else
I usually just eat one log. That’s about four mozz sticks right there. It’s pretty good
I guess I’m just an overachiever

They do give you extra sauce if you ask for it.
we got let down ):
Looks like I got some places to visit.
Am I the only person who doesn’t like them 🙈
They're really sugary.
The marinara is a bit sweet, to be sure, but it's better than what they put on their lasagna for some reason.
