Culvers Is Awesome.

You ever heard of Culvers drive in? If you have, you've been in the Midwest. We now have one here in Utah. And it's a good thing.

When we went to Minnesota in the summer of 2006, the night we arrived, our friends, Dennis and Jill took us to Culvers. Their son had a baseball game, so we had only a limited time for dinner, so that meant fast food. But this was GOOD fast food.

This place is mostly noted for their frozen custard treats, but the burgers are awesome. Crinkle cut fries. If they they got as much press as, In N' Out Burger (which, to tell the truth, still makes better burgers than any place but Crown Burger) they would be so popular, you couldn't get near the place.

The last one I was able to have a meal at was in Cheyenne, Wyoming a few years ago when forced to spend a couple nights there to see the Utes play football in Laramie because all the motel rooms there were booked.

The Culvers here is on 7200 South, just west of 700 West in front of that food store where you have to bag your own grocery's. Win Co, or something like that?

I have one complaint with Culvers. They have Pepsi and not Coke. And it's not just because I have Coca Cola stock. Pepsi sucks. The problem with Pepsi? It gets in your MOUTH! And that's a bad experience. Give me my Diet Coke, OK!

But at least this time of year, they have plain ice tea. It's not really good ice tea, but it's OK.

And by the way, I don't mean, "UNSWEETEND Ice Tea". There is NO SUCH THING AS UNSWEETENED ICE TEA! It's ice tea, or it's Sweet Tea. You brew tea. You have to add sugar to make Sweet Tea. PLAIN tea. Live with it. Don't make up words.

I would guess there are other Culvers either open or planned in Utah. I wish I'd been smart enough to get the franchise rights to this state for them. But if you get a chance, try them. Good burgers.
