3 Ways to Celebrate National Cheese Curd Day
Whether you are a longtime fan of cheese curds or are wondering what exactly cheese curds are, National Cheese Curd Day on October 15 is a fitting occasion for enjoyment, discovery, creativity and more. Below, you’ll find some suggestions for what to do on this annual food holiday that are suitable for any level of cheese curd familiarity.
1. Chow down on some cheese curds.
If you’ve never had them before, let this October day encourage you to finally order the cheese curds available on the Freddy’s menu or elsewhere. Another option is to buy a package of fresh curds to taste. While not every restaurant has cheese curds on its menu, those that do may feature a deal on these dishes or creative preparations of cheese curds for National Cheese Curd Day, so keep an eye out for related promotions as October 15 nears. Becoming a Freddy’s Rewards member is a great way to find out about any exclusive offers throughout the year and to earn points toward FREE rewards whenever you order at Freddy’s!
2. Try a variety of dipping sauces.
One popular way to serve cheese curds is fried with a side of dipping sauce. For example, Freddy’s cheese curds come with a selection of over ten different sauces to choose from, including classic pairings like marinara sauce and specialty dipping sauces such as Freddy’s Famous Jalapeño Fry Sauce®. For a sauce selection that ties to the history of cheese curds, as explained at Chowhound, consider trying honey mustard with your curds. If you already like popular tomato-based sauces like marinara sauce or ketchup but want a little more heat, consider a spicier variation of these dips or perhaps a salsa!

3. Make a recipe featuring cheese curds.
Beyond snacking on curds straight from the package or dipping crunchy, gooey curds in sauces, recipes like poutine use cheese curds. Poutine is a celebrated dish originating in Quebec, Canada. Traditional preparations of this dish include fresh cheese curds, crispy fries and tasty gravy. For National Cheese Curd Day, consider making your own batch of poutine fries at home.
