Spring Hill Jersey Cheese Company out of Petaluma serves up a traditional Wisconsin specialty--cheese curds. Dawn and I despaired of ever finding the ubiquitous Wisconsin curds anywhere here in California. Then we discovered them (and they're organic too!) at the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-Op a few months ago.
We've tried Mike's Firehouse Curds (my favorite), Garlic Curds (Dawn's favorite), and Spring Hill Curds (plain curds). They don't have quite the same taste as Wisconsin curds but they're close enough to satisfy us.
Wondering what makes a cheese curd? Wikipedia.
UPDATE: Wikipedia points out A&W Restaurants sell deep-fried cheese curds nationwide. Who knew?
UPDATE: We tried them this afternoon. They taste about the same as one might find in Wisconsin (in fact, they use Wisconsin white cheese). At $3.29 for a small container ($5.29 for a larger one) they're not cheap.
