I always stop here while driving back home to Iowa. It's at the perfect point to grab a cup of coffee in the morning, stretch my legs, use the facilities...all good stuff. I also notice that a lot of people bring their dogs out to do those very same things - it's enjoyable to watch them play on the small lawn. This past summer, this Culver's even hosted a classic car expo - very cool!
Driving home on Sunday afternoon, one usually gets a little parched and/or road weary, so obtaining a large soda or maybe some frozen custard or a greasy burger is a sure way to cure this boredom.
I've also made a promise to myself that I would never consume fried cheese curds anywhere but this particular Culver's. They've always been divine - well, as divine as fried cheese can be, but that's pretty damn holy, IMHO - I've mostly done this to prevent myself from gorging on the plump little chrunchy cheesy goodies. This Culver's is far enough away that I can't get to it often - maybe 3-4 times/year - and I figure that infrequent of consumption of greasy goodness won't line my arteries with all THAT much saturated fat...will it?
