The Fried Cheezit from Empamamma was a favorite for the festival
The best looking dish of the day was by far the Fried Cheezit from Empamamas. It’s made with American cheese, white cheddar, provolone, smeared with Tampa Girl sauce then battered and breaded in Cheezit cracker crumbles and DEEP FRIED. Are you kidding me? It’s then served with kettle chips and ranch dressing. A gazillion fat grams later…wow!
