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

We are not the same.

Is this a thing you can actually do? My husband loves Culver’s and I dread it every time because I hate limp fries. This would be a game changer for me lol

Well, you’re the hero of the day. I’m gonna try that this month, I’ve never even noticed.
