Quoted:
Culvers better than INO? ![]() Oh, wait, you're serious. Let me laugh even harder. ![]() Let me put it this way... I don't have either near my house. I travel a few times a year to both the West Coast and the Midwest. I'm a completely impartial observer here. I have no hometown favorite to root for. In the Midwest, Culver's is the only option. I don't mean the best option. I mean the only option. Aside from a few oases like Chicago, St. Louis, etc, the Midwest is a food desert. It's nothing but deep fried shit covered in ranch dressing, watery beer, and frozen pizza. I'm not trying to insult you guys, and I understand the cultural appeal of your "specialties" like pasties (which are English poor people food anyhow, and you also make them wrong), that imitation poutine thing, imitation German food, whatever the fuck a hotdish is (apparently you just dump tater tots and baked beans together, I guess?)... Look, I get it. It's all comfort food, and there's a strong cultural appeal to it. That's the value - not whether it's really that good, but whether everyone thinks it's good, which they do. You guys have a better food identity than most of the country, and you're not stuck up about it. That's a really great thing. It's humble and it's welcoming. But... it's just not that great. The West Coast is the opposite. The food is awesome. Any type of cuisine you can imagine is done well, and local specialties, of which there are dozens, are exemplary. Anywhere in Southern CA, you can order fish tacos, and they're going to be fucking incredible. Oh, some places are still better than others. That's the nature of the game, that somebody is going to win. But I've not once had a bad one, even from the shadiest Mexican joint imaginable. But, there's no cultural inclusion there. People don't sit down with each other to share a meal and reminisce about the last time they enjoyed the local specialty. They just eat great food, expecting it to be great, because it has always been great. Great is normal. It's not particularly welcoming. It's gastronomically better in every conceivable way... but it's not friendly. People don't value it. They'll defend it with zeal, which is well and good, but they don't celebrate it. That's the appeal of the Midwest. You guys are the underdogs. Nothing you do is by-the-numbers better than anything on either coast. But you've got fuckin spirit. You're a team. You get shit done, and you take pride in it. You hold your heads up, stick together, and when the world is like, "Hey, what do you got for a fast food burger?" you're like, you know what? Maybe it's not the best, but it's good quality, and we're going to do our own thing. You're going to serve it to you with pride, and it's going to be something both good and unique. You don't have to be better than INO. You're not anyhow, so it makes no difference, but that doesn't matter to you. You're going to keep doing what you do, and rightly being proud of that. That's what I like most about Culver's. But in the Midwest, I eat at Culver's because I have to. On the West Coast, I eat at INO because I want to. That's just the way it is. But that's fine. Don't try to be INO. You gotta do you. http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/xenoblade/images/9/92/He's_right_you_know.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150320192210 That's absolutely ridiculous, unless you have only been to small farm towns in the Midwest. There are thousands of great restaurants in Milwaukee and Chicago, but there are also great restaurants in the north woods; it's just tougher to find them. Culvers is a place to eat when you are in a hurry or hungover, not "the only place to eat". And now that 5 Guys, Chik Fil A, Firehouse, etc are adding more locations in WI, Culvers won't even be the best fast food at pitstops on the interstate. |

The curds are good. The shakes are good. "Butterburgers" are... eh. I mean, not bad, but it's still a fast food burger. I would rather have In-n-Out, but I also like cheese curds. Ranch dressing is disgusting. lol In-N-Out doesn't hold a flame to Culver's. INO sucks donkey balls. Where in florida is one being built? Shame on you! There is one in SRQ on University and another is getting finished up on Sr70 in Bradenton/LWR. They are expensive for what you get. If you like buttered buns/bread you will like Culver's.

Culvers is my goto fast food place. Try the double bacon cheese butterburger basket. Their fish sammich and pork tenderloin are good too. Their frozen custard rocks as well.

Food is tasty, but very high calorie.
There was an interesting article on Culver's in Forbes Magazine about 3-4 years ago, re: much of Culver's advertising bucks are subtly directed to get customers to buy one of the custard desserts-----and IIRC, the average store gross margin on the desserts was in the range of 75-80%-----almost pure profit. |

Quoted:
Let me give you a perfect example of what I mean by Midwest v. the coasts. Say you go into a non-chain, semi-casual restaurant. Neighborhood, locally-owned place, maybe even regionally famous. The kind of joint that gets a lot of repeat business. On the coasts, you'll pay your money and you'll get a good meal. After a few repeat visits, you'll get to know the people there, and maybe develop a rapport. The bartender will remember your favorite drink, the owner will wave hi as he walks the tables, maybe you'll make some chatter about current events of local interest. The menu will be good stuff, often with seasonal options, and pared down to maybe 25-30 items. They may or may not have a chef's special of the day/week. Maybe they'll have a rotating soup or vegetable. Generally ordered a la carte, but entrees come with a choice of two sides. That sort of thing. Everyone knows exactly what I'm talking about here. But the Midwest... It's like you teleported back in time to the 1980s. If there was a smoking section, I'd swear I was back in 1985. Booths with the back-to-back benches and tables not attached to the floor or anything. Small chairs for fat butts. Some places don't have free refills on soda. There's a glass-front deli cooler at the front door that showcases all the cakes and pies for dessert (and you have a fuckton). The waitress waddles up to your table beaming with joy and starts making small talk. No rush, what are you in town for, well, my sister's husband just... and this is normal. Patrons at one table will talk to patrons at another table. Aw, you like the Packers? Me too! Go Packers! And then there's the question that comes as a complete surprise. What kind of dressing do you want on your salad? My salad? But I only ordered a chicken sandwich. That's okay, everything comes with a salad. Remember that shit from your childhood? And it's in the fake wooden bowl, with sliced tomatoes (obviously from the sandwich prep station), canned black olives, the red onion slice thoughtfully placed on top so it can be removed if you don't like raw onion... Everybody gets a fucking salad. No reason, it's just polite. It's hospitality. And the menu... holy shit, there's got to be a hundred things on this damn menu. Why would you ever have so much shit on there? And it never changes. Oh, you might get a special once in a while, but it's just going to be some variation on a regular menu item. Oh, it's the "cowboy" burger! We put barbecue sauce on it. Ooooh, that sounds fancy. It's the fuckin salad, though. It's simple, it hardly costs anything, but nobody on the coasts does it. Oh, you can order a side salad. But that takes something away from the meal. The Midwest, no matter what you order, you're getting ten pieces of lettuce, two tomato slices, and some other small things. It's the smallest of things, and so easily overlooked, but it's that mark of hospitality that makes all the difference. You can't do that on the coasts. You'll tie up a table for 90 minutes. You'll go out of business. You've got food to serve and taxes to pay. A half empty restaurant with friendly service and free shit? You'd last 3 months in any coastal state. But not in the Midwest. You'll be the anchor of the damn community. Crazy. It's like a different planet out there. View Quote Yep. And if we could put up walls, it'd stay that way. |

I got introduced to them in Wisconsin on a trip to visit some family. Really liked the food. Now one just opened in Central Florida. The curds are not as fresh here but still good. The post roast sandwich and the prime rib sandwich are also very good. I concur with the great rootbeer. Even the diet rootbeer is great.
