Better Know Some Midwestern Shit, Part 1

[intertribal]

First off, what the hell is up with LJ's "subtitle"?  "Discover global communities of friends who share your unique passions and interests"?  Sounds like a robot took over.

So I was looking at the Culver's menu (my mother's obsessed with their ice cream), and had a good time with the pictures.  In case there are people that don't know, Culver's is a Midwestern burger chain.  As with anything Midwestern, there are weird undertones of "family values" at Culver's.  Their claim to fame is the ButterBurger.  Sounds bad, actually not that bad.  Part of their slogan: "If you’ve been to a Culver’s and experienced fresh, delicious food served with friendly smiles, you’ve been Culverized."  Yeeee-aaaah.

First we have some slab chicken on stone bread:

Next we have some alien crabs on bread:
 

 

And the winner, a sandwich to rival the worst sandwich I have ever had:

It looks awful as shit to me (true, good food to me often involves rice, but not always, and I do eat sandwiches and burgers).  I mean, McDonald's has better photos.  I'm not saying the food itself is shit, mind you - I've never had any of these particular beauties - but can we maybe invest in some better photography?  Slap some lettuce and tomatoes on this shit?  Just for the hell of it?

Not gonna lie, I am a huge fried chicken fan. But that thing looks KIND OF like a baby xenomorph.

It's loaded with awesome. And sodium. And fat. And all things you'd imagine making such a non-sandwich sandwich delicious.

RE: baby xenomorph--In the event of symptoms of indigestion/acid reflux/hiatal hernia, one might believe a baby xenomorph is attempting to punch out of the torso.

I haven't tried the grilled Double Down yet.

Fried chicken . . . dime a dozen places here in the Deep South. We've got this little franchise called Carter's Fried Chicken. And, man, do they make some jam-up fried squash as well. If you have a gall bladder, it begins aching as soon as you place your order. My preference is their steak sandwich. The kids love the chicken rings, which are what you would think: formed/pressed chicken tenders in the shape of cookie-sized rings. Thing 1 and Thing 2 love nibbling them from around their fingers. It's great.
