Culver's on the Cheap!

Everyone's gotta feed their family! One of my favorite Wisconsin discoveries since I moved to Chicago 10 years ago is the Culver's BUTTER BURGER! My fellow NU peers from Wisconsin were obsessed about Butter Burgers and I never understood it until.....I got CULVERIZED! Now, we're pretty much obsessed with Culver's too.

Why am I writing this on 'Fru-Girl'? Well, why don’t you tell me last time you got a delicious, fresh (never frozen) burger for under $4....that's right - Butter Burgers are FRUGAL! AWESOME!

Jon and I love Culver's amazing Butter Burgers and tend to take visiting non-mid-westerners to get the real Culver's experience. We have a checklist of things to make our visitors try:
  • Deep Fried Cheese Curds
  • Classic Butter Burger
  • CUSTARD!
All of these items are made with fresh Wisconsin products...Beef + Dairy! NOM NOM NOM!

Living in Evanston, sadly (we don't have one really close - although I’ve heard rumors of Culver’s going in on Dempster in Niles!) So for now, our Culver's experiences have to wait until we're out of town: we've hit up the Culver's in Antioch, Mt. Prospect, Pleasant Prairie and in South Bend.

Why is Culver's so good??
  • They use fresh, never frozen beef for their burgers and real Wisconsin Cheese! (not that processed stuff like fast food joints).
  • They have deals! (Follow on Facebook + Twitter for giveaways and deals!)
  • The people working there are always nice and the restaurant is always clean!
  • They have their own Root-beer - YUM!
Prices are comparable to that of McDonalds, only WHY in the world would you eat at McDonald's when you could have a Butter Burger + Cheese Curds?? If you're spending the calories on Burgers, Cheese and Frozen Custard...get thee to your nearest Culver's!
