Culver’s and Minskeys are probably my favorites

Edit: I have been informed that Culver’s is in a lot more places than I originally thought! The more ya know!

    I hate to inform you of this, but Culver’s was a Wisconsin exclusive until maybe 10 years ago. I assume you are in KC, as they have Minskeys and Culver’s there. By all means, though, celebrate Minskeys. If it’s the pizza place in KC, General Tsos pizza sounds amazing.

    I’ll suggest Tom’s Drive-in for burgers and Rocky Roccoco for pizza in my area.

      Had a Culver’s in Colorado Springs when I was in highschool like 10 years ago, pretty sure it was there even sooner.

      There are a few here in Texas, too.

      Afaik, Culver’s is a Midwestern exclusive restaurant. I’m generally in KC Missouri which is why I mentioned those two places

      I thought it was just in Wisconsin.

      My wife and I went on a full vegetarian diet for two weeks (a friend recommended a “cleanse” of sorts). We did, and the first meal with meat we had were Culver’s double bacon cheeseburgers. We nearly threw up.

  • Tokyo Express.

    Despite the name, it’s a Chinese restaurant. $6 will buy a meal that’s 3 whole pounds of food. The styrofoam containers are usually stuffed so full, they barely close.

      I used to be near a place like that in college. I could eat 2 or 3 meals from them. And it was good. They did Chinese food and donuts. Stoners paradise.

      As for Chinese restaurants, Golden Rice near my home owns my soul. Crispy Honey Chicken, their Crab Rangoons, ugh, so good

    Chain restaurants are sort of rare where I live (NOLA) but Dat Dog is pretty good. You basically pick a type of sausage and the toppings but the sausages are good and the toppings can involve everything from ketchup to crawfish étouffée. It’s like if a hot dog place but obviously way better.

    I live in a bit of a foodie town, so there’s too many to mention, but here are some of my favorites.

    Codfather. Dude’s an immigrant from Scotland and was annoyed that there were no fish and chips restaurants here so he made one.

    Dashi. Tagline is “Put a little Sriracha in your Sombrero.” It’s hispanic-asian fusion.

    Vicious Biscuit. I’ve never seen them not have a line out the door. Really good biscuits with all kinds of toppings.

    Boxcar Betty’s. It’s what Chik-Fil-A wishes it could be.

    Rodney Scott’s, and Swig and Swine. 2 BBQ restaurants that have spoiled me for BBQ. I have to be careful how often I eat at one of these because it’s so good it’s hard to stop eating.

    I used to think we were the only place in the US to have a Rocky Rococo’s because it, as far as I’m aware, was the only one in the upper northwest of the country. But otherwise, I can’t really think of many places here that you can’t find anywhere else that I’ve actually gone to and know aren’t anywhere else.

    I know my parents have been to local restaurants, but as far as I’m aware, I just can’t think of any that I’ve been to.

      Yuck. They are local - literally founded here - and they are inedible. I don’t know how they ever spread that far.

        Compared to the other pizza places in my hometown (Domino’s, Papa John’s, Pizza Hut, Little Caesars, etcetera) it’s literally the 2nd best chain restaurant pizza I’ve ever had.
