Culver's named Fodor's best fast food restaurant in US
Culver's was named the best fast food restaurant in the United States by Fodor's Travel.
Fodor's Geena Truman wrote that she spent a year "driving around the U.S. on a quest to eat (and experience) the true culture of America." She ranked 12 fast-food chains, leaving out large corporations like McDonald's, Wendy's and Burger King.
The article said Culver's "gives the outer appearance of fast-food but outperforms all others in taste."
The burger chain was founded in Sauk City, Wisconsin in 1984 by George, Ruth, Craig and Lea Culver. The chain currently has more than 900 family-owned and operated franchises across 26 states, according to its website.
