I know that I did not do any reviews lately, but this time there is a double review that is coming up just inch away: TGI Friday's Spinach & Artichoke Cheese Dip and Mozzarella Sticks: Buffalo Sauce edition. I had the dip in my freezer for several weeks now, and I knew that another product needed to go with it, so the mozz sticks were on sale yesterday and I decided to pair them together to this 1st review of 2012.










Lets start with Spinach and Artichoke Cheese Dip first: you open up the box and get the microwave container with film on top that indicates that this food is made in microwave only. 3 minutes in the nuke box, stir and 1 more minute again. I let it stand and cool down for around 4 minutes before I gave it a try. I have no idea what you should dip into this dip and there are no suggestions anywhere on the box, so it was logical for me to dip the Mozzarella Sticks into the Spinach & Artichoke Cheese Dip. The dip by itself is just not that exciting because of the greens (spinach & artichoke), but together with other stuff like mozz sticks, it goes great.







Now the Mozzarella Stick Buffalo sauce edition: 9 sticks prepperd in the gas oven while the buffalo sauce packet gets warmed in the bowl of hot water. The instructions called for 8 minutes in 450-F oven, but I kinda missed the time and the cheese popped-out from the sticks. These are really tasty and quality mozarella sticks when you compare them to the alternative brands mozzarella sticks in your average frozen foods isle.



They are even better than Burger King's mozarella sticks, I don't know if BK still sells them. The cheese is very chewy while tender and juicy (from all those baked fats juices). The crust or the actual stick with panning is tasy as well, and juices fron the mozzarella lubricate the taste quiet well. These are solid 4 out of 5 stars mozarella sticks that are tasty and enjoyable, but the buffalo sauce on the other hand sucks.



At first I thought that TGIF would include a quality sauce, but when I opened the packet, I could smell the fake butter scent. It also tasted very cheap with fake butter scent, so I dumped it down the toilet and used the mozzarella sticks with the spinach & artichoke cheese dip, that together tasted great because of the double cheese.



My verdict is: Dip is pretty good but not as good as the mozz sticks. Together they go great, so try the Spinach & Artichoke Cheese Dip and Mozzarella Sticks by TGIF. Let me know what you think about the TGIF buffalo sauce.
