Schlotzsky’s is damn good

Zaxby's is awesome, and I have to say I'm very pleasantly shocked and delighted to see Culver's at #1! On Wisconsin!

Culver’s is so good. (I lived in Wisconsin for 6 years.)

I agree, I lived there for 30 years. They have quality food and a pretty expansive menu. And they make their own root beer!

If you're ever in Nebraska I suggest you try Runza. Similar to Culver's in burgers but better. And their Runzas ( like a homemade hot pocket but 1000 times better) to die for !

Just watched a video on Runza and it looks delicious!! Added it to the NT section and if I see one next time I am in Iowa (likely the closest I will get to Nebraska for a while and it does seem there are some locations in the Hawkeye State) I will try it out and ask my doctor to forgive me! ;-)

Surprised not to see Brueggers Bagels anywhere on the list.

It’s fast casual, and I didn’t list all fast casual restaurants. But—that said—I probably *should* have listed that one, as I have eaten there and they are common enough. Let me take a look at an edit.

All right—edit made! Thanks for the suggestion, David!

Popeye’s is on the “B” list? Why!!? It’s terrible-nothing but breading! At least here in NM.
