Culver's created National Cheese Curd Day in 2015 and in 2024, the restaurant known for cooked-to-order food made with farm-fresh ingredients is celebrating with all-new Hot Honey Cheese Curds.
These sweet and spicy cheese curds enhance Culver's signature Wisconsin Cheese Curds with just a hint of sweet heat from hot honey breading and the right amount of crunchiness. The rise of hot honey in CPG products and on QSR menus highlights the high demand for irresistible "swicy" flavors that add a delightful kick to everything from drizzled pizzas and charcuterie boards to burgers, captivating taste buds with its unique balance of heat and sweetness.
For a short time this October, while supplies last, Culver's guests can look forward to savoring the fan-favorite CurderBurger with the limited-time Hot Honey Cheese Curds.
