If you’re from the Northeast United States, you may not be familiar with Culver’s. The Wisconsin-based fast food eatery is a fixture just about everywhere else in America, though the official Culver’s website hints its chains could head up north someday. And hopefully, this happens sooner than later — because according to Zimmern, there’s no better place to stop for fast food. As the celebrity chef can attest, you can clearly taste the difference between standard fast food fare and Culver’s butterburgers, made from fresh beef and served on a buttered, toasted bun.
Of course, you can’t go wrong with other items on the menu at Culver’s, either. Take the CurderBurger, for instance. This cheese-filled burger is unlike anything you’ll find on other menus — it’s a limited-edition special worth taking a road trip for. Culver’s sides include everything from fried cheese curds to onion rings and chili, though there are lighter options like steamed broccoli and side salads to choose from. For those in need of even more Wisconsin dairy in their meal, there’s always the chain’s fresh frozen custard, prepared in-house and available in sundaes, shakes, and root beer floats.
