Culver's established itself in 1984 in Sauk City, Wisconsin, and is famed for its ButterBurgers, freshly churned frozen custard, and Wisconsin cheese curds. Each item is made to order, embodying the essence of Midwest hospitality, making it a beloved fast-food chain especially in the Midwest but also expanding into states like Texas and Florida.
Portillo's proudly serves Chicago-style hot dogs, never with ketchup, instead adorned with mustard, relish, and various toppings on a poppyseed bun. The chain not only caters to hot dog enthusiasts but also offers Italian-beef sandwiches and its delightful Chocolate Cake Shake, all within uniquely themed store designs that pay homage to Old Chicago and Prohibition.
Founded in 1926 in Iowa, Maid-Rite is renowned for its uniquely satisfying loose-meat sandwiches. This simple yet iconic offering pairs perfectly with classic American favorites like malted shakes and cheese fries, catering to diners looking for hearty, nostalgic food. With an expansion across multiple states, Maid-Rite remains a staple in loose-meat sandwich culture.
Graeter's, tracing its roots back to the late 19th century, specializes in rich and creamy French-pot ice cream. Known especially for its dense chocolate-chip-studded variety, the chain hails from Ohio but has grown its presence across surrounding states. Its quality is so renowned that select grocery outlets, including Whole Foods, stock their ice cream to reach a broader audience.
