Another gift from Wisconsin is Kwik Trip/Kwik Star convenience stores. Legit.


Use them exclusively while I’m in Wisconsin, they’ve got an internet showdown right now with Buc-ee’s but they’re not even the same category.

Unpopular opinion on here but Kwik Trip is better than Buceees

Culver's

Yes. Culver's is everything Wendy's used to be with the wonders of frozen custard to boot.

they're okay, certainly not worth the almost hour it takes to get off the freeway, find a parking spot, weave through a Walmarks like mass of obese humanity to get inside and to the counter, then wait to get the sammich then wait in line to pay for it, at least not to me

Culvers is my favorite fast food chain for burgers.

I see Bucee's is invading Kwik Trip territory so that's probably behind it.

Building one just north of Madison iirc.

Kwik Trip and Fleet Farm car wash is the best car washes around. Getting a season pass is a must have to keep the salt off your car.

Also Menards is by far by favorite home/hardware store in America. Nothing else comes close.

You have to mention in a positive way Culver's own root beer. Not as great as Barque's used to be, but we like it enough to seek it out.

The best kept secret at Culvers is their Roast Beef dinner plate with vegetables

I remember when Culver's was just a small franchise getting going in WI back in the late 80s. Actually knew the guy that was the first franchisee.

And one just south of Milwaukee too, if I read the article correctly.

Blain’s Farm and Fleet is FAR superior to that shithole Mills Fleet Farm.

Far, far superior.

hear the fried Walleye sandwich is the best in the business.

Tried Culver’s fish sandwich last Lent.
Pretty meh.

I do like their burgers/fries/shakes though.

Kwik Trip

Kwik Trips (and Casey’s for that matter) are not even in the same category as gas stations of the south, food-wise.
There are no homemade plate lunches or breakfast biscuits at Midwestern gas stations, it’s just pizza and chicken tenders.
