Why is culvers so expensive

The cod sandwich ranked very high in our fast food fried fish sandwich power ranking , and I can personally attest that it deserves the hype. Surprisingly, though, the fried shrimp is also fantastic. And the sides? Oh, man. And you know what rescues mediocre fries? If you want an ultra-boss move, try dipping the cheese curds in the cheese sauce.

Picture me taking a bow. When it comes to a battle between ice cream and frozen custard, custard beats the shit out of ice cream. In-N-Out only serves shakes. There are shakes, sundaes, malts, concrete mixers, and everything is customizable with 33 toppings and mix-ins available yes, I counted.

Culver's cheese curds are a tiny bit different from the traditional way up north; their cheese curds are fried to a light golden brown, and remain pull-apart gooey.

Culver's gets their cheese curds using both white and yellow cheddar from La Grander Hillside Dairy in Stanley, Wisconsin. There are way more white cheddar's than yellow cheddar's at least in my orders , so it felt a bit special biting into a yellow cheddar, like finding a Wonka Golden Ticket. La Grander isn't just some run-of-the-mill cheese shoppe, they've been around since the early s so you know the cheese is legit. You can get a dipping sauce with them, but honestly you don't need it — cheese curds are the side staple that really sets them apart from all the other quick serve restaurants out there.

If you think Culver's sounds pretty darn good and are thinking of diving in and taking a shot at a franchise, you'll be surprised to learn that it's really not that expensive to jump in — relatively speaking. That all sounds well and good, but let's cut to the chase; what will you make a year if you owned a Culver's? If you do the math that'll leave you with a nice, tidy profit.

Given that very high success rate, it's still a sound investment for a quick serve restaurant, which is why Culver's are growing so rapidly. Has a Culver's popped up in your neck of the woods recently? That's not by accident. Culver's are stretching from Minnesota to Florida, and every state in between. As of now they aren't on the coasts, and a few places in the deep south, but they have plans to expand throughout the entire US.

This isn't by surprise, Culver's finished second in a national poll as America's favorite burger only behind In-n-Out Burger. That's not because they're some plucky underdog — people really dig Culver's.

You can make the case that In-n-Out and Culver's are cut from the same cloth; both started as mom-and-pop burger joints and have a loyal fan base. Each grew in their respective states and then expanded slowly but carefully in neighboring states. They also are both regionalized, although Culver's has a bit wider swath than In-n-Out.

As Culver's continues to expand, their popularity will just continue to rise. Root beer. Some people love it, and other people wouldn't know good taste if it hit them upside the head in the form of a frost mug. You can make the case that root beer is a regional flavor — or at least more popular in certain regions.

But Culver's root beer isn't just any run-of-the-mill suds, they have their own formula. The root beer is from Rochester Root Beer, but it's their own proprietary recipe. They don't really mention that aloud publicize that fact, but a few insiders have noted it to me, and if you look hard enough on the internet you'll find it mentioned in passing.

It has a nice sarsaparilla flavor, and comes off a tad bit sweet and very drinkable. But in case you don't trust my root beer expertise, there's a respectable root beer blog that paints a sanguine picture that sums it up, saying, "As far as fountain root beers go, this may be the best I have had. Culver's pushes their custards; they mention it prominently in most literature and they feature a flavor of the day — some unique mix of their custard which is usually a wonderful pun or word play that's as delicious as their icy treat.

But what exactly are we eating there? I mean, it's ice cream, right? Well, not exactly. Ice cream is milk and cream and it's cold because duh , and frozen custard is milk, cream, and egg yolks.

In order to be ice cream you need to be at least 10 percent milk fat by weight — so a custard doesn't qualify — hence the different name. But don't fret, you're used to not eating ice cream when you think you are; Dairy Queen is in the same boat and not technically ice cream.

Custard is a big thing in the Midwest , so Culver's is just sticking with what they know best. You can think of it as ice cream if you really want to, but there is a taste difference — you'd probably notice it on that first bite, but it's close enough.

Did you ever notice the correlation between popular fast food joints and charitable activities? Chick-fil-A and In-n-Out are both big into giving, so it's natural that Culver's, a restaurant that's in the same mold as those two popular chains, is also in the giving game. Culver's individual stores have stepped it up in natural disasters, such as a store in Texas rebuilding a barn after Hurricane Harvey and an Illinois store providing Thanksgiving dinners for those in need.

Culver's once even donated percent of their daily sales to provide a proper burial for a long-time employee. The corporate arm does it's fair share as well, including providing scholarships for Culver's collegiate candidates. If your local Culver's seems to be stocked with eager high schoolers, that could be part of the reason.
