Burgers and fries are exactly the same as steak and shake
I think I've discovered what's wrong with the modern world

We have one here.. it's basically what Steak n Shake used to be.
I like Culver's, but I think it's an abomination that they call their burger a butter burger just because they butter the bun. That's not a butter burger. F*ck you, Culver's.
They still have a lot of locations. During the pandemic they closed a lot of stores and remodeled them to fit the new business model. Again, my one anecdotal experience was very good. But that could have just been that location. But it was like a brand new restaurant inside.
They kept the branding the same, though. Gonna take some time to work back all that ill will.
Whatever they are doing, it's working. As mentioned, the service level is better than a lot of casual chain full service restaurant where you are tipping a server... they get teenagers that actually give a shit, and can actually speak to you confidently.....it's amazing.

You should open your pub near my mountain. When I make my once a month run into town, I’ll stop by.

Culver’s is second only to Chik Fil A in fast food deliciousness and service quality
I've been to Culvers once. Lazkowski opened his in Bton right before Covid hit but stayed afloat. Maybe three months ago I talked the Boss into checking it out. I didn't realize it was counter service rather than sit down with server. I was thinking it would be like Steak N Shake. Food was good though, and plenty of it.
I love Culver's. I'm just saying, that's not really a butter burger. A real butter burger is when you put a pat of butter on the patty while it's grilling. It's not just buttering a damn bum. Everyone butters the damn bun.

Don’t let your pedantry ruin deliciousness. Get the mushroom Swiss burger, close your eyes, and chew slowly.
Yeah the undeserving who do these jobs a lot of times have to supplement their social security payments in order to pay for frivolous expenditures like healthcare and rent.
But the workers are always smiling and in a good mood. Maybe they give them some good drugs?
Have you seen the house the owner of Pizza Huts in Fort Wayne owns? In Aboit Township.
Niiii-iiice.......
You don't actually pay for the franchise, right? They select you and then train you and set you up. I'm sure they take theirs off the top, but my understanding is there is no cost to entry, or extremely low.
I think you can own multiple franchises. Not sure about that, though.
Oh, for sure.
It was up for sale at one time. Don't know if it sold, but when it was on sale, it was the most expensive piece of property on sale in Indiana.
My cousin used to live in an addition just east of that place. Cousin had a Y2K (remember that?) party and at midnight, we went outside and watched the fireworks show from that guys's place. WOW! What a blowout!
It's his son, now. I don't know if he'll keep it forever.
We went to New Orleans for y2k. We were there 36 hours and I didn’t bring luggage. No outfit change. When I left I had a perfect shoe print in the center of my back. No idea how. Guess I got donkey kicked at some point. People on the plane were laughing
So question for you GOAT or anyone in Bloomington? A Is Hinkles still as good as it used to be? I always loved that onion smashed burger.
It was designed after some European castle. There were multiple buildings on the property, probably still are, but the main one was 50,000 sq ft and cost $37,000,000 to build in 1997. It was for sale several years ago for $30 million. I don't think it sold. I live close enough to ride my bike past this place, but it's pretty hidden and you can't really see that much from the road.
It does have a 6000 sq foot equestrian facility in the event Rick Pitino ever wants to come coach IPFW.

You're right - you can't see much from the road, but what you can see looks damn impressive! They had to sell a lot of pizzas to get that place!
Pizza Huts are cash cows. They only closed one location during Covid, and that was only because it was a location that did almost no delivery business; it made all its money from dine-in.
I’m not a scientist (or much of anything at all), but unless you’re shot gunning those beers, there is 0 percent chance you can finish 2-3 before the sausage roll is finished. Maybe a half beer…..maybe.
LOL, go to the wiki and look at the picture of the sandwich, and try not to throw up.

When they had clean workers and cared it was the gold standard of fast food. Never in your life have you ever tasted so much salt. Construction workers lined up for blocks to get those roast beef sandwiches. How many times did I scream F*UCK THE LINE’S TOO LONG!!!!! That place was the real deal bitchLOL, go to the wiki and look at the picture of the sandwich, and try not to throw up.

Mine is going to be an offshoot of Wyman’s.

Well he owned a couple of KFC's too, but not many compared to the Pizza Huts. Probably just for beer money. He actually started at Pizza Hut as a part time employee.
Here's something I didn't know. He was a partner in the Pizza Hut/KFC business in Poland and the Czech Republic.

I think it’s probably a great first job for most teenagers. They must learn a lot in a well read run business like that.
I hate when a restaurant grills the bun with butter. I always tell them no butter in the bun. There’s plenty of grease and fat on a burger without that.
