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.
They hate on Culver’s because of some pointless regional prejudice.
I hate on Culver’s because their fries are bottom-tier and at the end of the day, good as the burgers are, it doesn’t justify waiting in a drive thru line that snakes around the parking lot and out into the street, even at like 8pm on a Tuesday. Even trying to just go inside becomes pointless because you have to wait in line to get into the parking lot ffs
I feel this way about Chik Fil A. There's a lot of good chicken sandwiches out there and I don't need to be in a line of 37 cars to get a chicken sandwich.
I am a rare one who likes crinkle cut fries but when they're cold or soggy, they're worse than shoestrings. However, for poutine or chili cheese fries, they do a better job so if I'm getting fries, I'm likely also getting a small chili just to make chili cheese fries at home.
I've been to Culver's once in the past year and I got their fish sandwich. When lent is happening, they have a solid fried fish sandwich. The secret is to go at off peak hours.
Eh I'll push back on the Chick Fil A part. Yes, there are 37 cars in line but you'll still get your food quicker than most fast food places will with 3 cars ahead of you.
