Google isn’t much help here because it seems like every Google hit is pulling its information from the same article, suggesting that mozzarella sticks had their origins in the ‘70s. But that’s origins, and not popularity.
We were watching a volleyball game of my former college and one of the players said that her favorite food was mozzarella sticks from the campus dining hall. My daughter asked me if I ate the mozzarella sticks when I was there. And I thought about it. And I can’t really remember mozzarella sticks when I was in college (early 90s) or before that.
I certainly can’t tell you when I had my first mozzarella stick, but the first memories that come to mind are that I used to eat them at a bowling alley bar in the mid to late ‘90s.
So I guess my question is, when do you think mozzarella sticks because popular - when did they become an item that you’d regularly see on restaurant menus and in college dining halls?
