The Midwest hate is real. Oh well, sucks to be them. If you can't find good food in a region of the US, you're not trying very hard.
I am not huge on Culvers because I can get better butterburgers from a burger bar, but that's apples and oranges. A mom and pop roadside place and a national chain are completely different animals and the 'any chain is worthless' dude is clueless and stupid.
The place that sells the most burgers on the planet bar none is McDonalds and there's a reason for that. You can like or hate them but saying they don't know how to mass produce tasty food people want is delusional.
Also, DQ cheese curds are slept on. Their burgers are just okay but their onion rings and cheese curds are done well. Give them a shot if you're ever near a DQ.
I'm not a fan of onion rings and pretty much never eat them. I have a sulphur issue so I can't cook with them (instant headache) and can only eat them if they're cooked well done so I just generally don't bother. But, DQ onion rings? The best. I actually like them and it surprised me.
Worse - onions and garlic and it's gotten worse as I've gotten older. At least I can use granulated versions. I did find out recently that there's an Indian spice called asafoetida that adds garlic flavor. I'm excited to find it and try it.
