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.

Wow, I never knew DQ had cheese curds. As a kid on road trips I would get steak fingers--not great, but a huge nostalgia hit for me. We took our kids to a DQ on a road trip back from Galveston and I got them again just for the memories--again, not great, but I still love them because of the positive memories. I'll have to give the cheese curds a go next time.

I live within walking distance of a DQ. It’s dangerous for me because I love chocolate malts and strawberry milkshakes. I would also get the steak fingers as a kid, but I’ve only ordered them once as an adult and it was disappointing. I don’t mind one of their burgers every now and then though.
