They're squeaky, crispy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, but sometimes, you want something a little extra to shake them up. Instead of ordering them plain, ask for a cup of George's chili and cheddar cheese sauce to turn them into chili cheese curds. We think this hack makes for the best Culver's side dish, and an embodiment of true Wisconsin flavor.
