Madison community members flocked Wisconsin Cheese Curdfest at the spacious Breese Stevens Field Sunday afternoon to experience the taste-testing of delicious curds of all forms.
Considering the underwhelming amount of cheese curd vendors, there was still a wide variety of unique options. This included the desirable and classic “squeaky” curds, greasy deep-fried curds, bacon queso mac n’ cheese curds and even spicy chili Thai curds.
