I always gravitate towards&amp;nbsp;a Culver&#39;s Bacon Deluxe Basket when I visit.&amp;nbsp; This time was no different.&amp;nbsp; I stopped off at the Sauk City location on US Hwy 12.&amp;nbsp; Although it is the very first Culver&#39;s location, there is little to call this out in terms of memorabilia.&amp;nbsp; It looks the same as every other Culver&#39;s I have been in.&amp;nbsp; I am obviously a burger guy, and I have an insatiable craving for bacon.&amp;nbsp; It is a perfect match.&amp;nbsp; The burger comes as a double double (two patties and&amp;nbsp;2 slices of American Cheese).&amp;nbsp; The&amp;nbsp;smashed thin burger is served medium-well and it develops a nicely browned, crunchy exterior.&amp;nbsp; The basket runs about $7.00 and it comes standard with a medium sized fry and a medium soda.&amp;nbsp; You can upgrade the side to fried cheese curds or onion rings for a little more, and you can replace the soda with a shake for an up charge as well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV8zhP80QpN-lModHXuRSswfOmrVECXbOMQdkcsEXgnxWr8DKHL48tDAI1NBxZdhesSGUyZd0KgfVrGzPTS8RYIb4u05zXEtxGFWnsLJZoI_wLSBCmlp8E_jtkxIGG6ZbsYTDF4aWVIzA/s1600/032.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; px=&quot;true&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV8zhP80QpN-lModHXuRSswfOmrVECXbOMQdkcsEXgnxWr8DKHL48tDAI1NBxZdhesSGUyZd0KgfVrGzPTS8RYIb4u05zXEtxGFWnsLJZoI_wLSBCmlp8E_jtkxIGG6ZbsYTDF4aWVIzA/s320/032.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS;&quot;&gt;Seriously, dude?&amp;nbsp; You mean a 1/2 pound burger, rolled in salt, covered with 4 slices of cheese, buried under 6 strips of bacon, stuffed with deep fried onion straws, slathered in mayo and served on a bun soaked in melted butter isn&#39;t the healthy choice on the menu?&amp;nbsp; Wow, I thought that slice of lettuce meant it was technically good&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;*&lt;/span&gt; for me.&amp;nbsp; Thank the stars in heaven you were here with your timely wisdom, David!&amp;nbsp; What would&amp;nbsp;humanity do without you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS;&quot;&gt;This is a big week for Wendy&#39;s.&amp;nbsp; The new line of burgers, and now this.&amp;nbsp; I for one have never had a big problem with Wendy&#39;s french fries, but they have never been as popular as the spuds at McDonald&#39;s.&amp;nbsp; So, for the first time in the company&#39;s history, &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101110/ap_on_bi_ge/us_wendy_s_new_fries&quot;&gt;they are completely overhauling this deep fried staple&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; The new fries will be cut from russett potatos only, and they will be slighlty skinnier.&amp;nbsp; In &lt;a href=&quot;http://www2.kelloggs.com/ProductDetail.aspx?id=21671&quot;&gt;keeping&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.capecodchips.com/products/chips.aspx&quot;&gt;with&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fritolay.com/our-snacks/lays-natural-sea-salt-thick-cut.html&quot;&gt;current&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.campbellsoup.com/hearthealthy_25less.aspx&quot;&gt;trends&lt;/a&gt;, they&amp;nbsp;will be also seasoned with sea salt going forward.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS;&quot;&gt;I am both amused and dismayed that this trend towards a more &quot;natural&quot; french fry actually results in higher sodium and more calories.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://burgersandfriesandshakesohmy.blogspot.com/2010/11/having-skin-on-is-way-to-remind-people.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Greg C.)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299333231503625900.post-8883757422731152540</guid><pubDate>Wed, 10 Nov 2010 07:22:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-11-10T01:22:41.304-06:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Burger Planet</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Links</category><title>Burger Planet ~ November 9, 2010</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;All things burger related from anywhere, and everywhere...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kenji Lopez-Alt&lt;/a&gt;, was skeptical of recent claims that McDonald&#39;s Happy Meal hamburgers are impervious to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.refinery29.com/happy-meal-art-project.php&quot;&gt;growing mold&lt;/a&gt;, and that &lt;a href=&quot;http://bestofmotherearth.com/2008/09/24/1996-mcdonalds-hamburger.html&quot;&gt;they would not rot&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; He wasn&#39;t so much disturbed by the claim, as the lack of science supporting the various conclusions as to why these little burgers would&amp;nbsp;show little change in appearance for years and years.&amp;nbsp; Taking on the project in his &lt;a href=&quot;http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/11/the-burger-lab-revisiting-the-myth-of-the-12-year-old-burger-testing-results.html&quot;&gt;burger lab&lt;/a&gt;, he created his own burgers and placed them side-by-side with McDonald&#39;s samples.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS;&quot;&gt;It is interesting to see his results.&amp;nbsp; It turns out his burgers, made from fresh, preservative free beef he had ground himself, ended up just like the Mickey D&#39;s patties.&amp;nbsp; Dried out, and certainly inedible, but no mold!&amp;nbsp; The original&amp;nbsp;posts&amp;nbsp;had implied that McDonald&#39;s burgers were such a nutritional abyss that even bacteria could not survive&amp;nbsp;on them, or that heavy use of fillers and preservatives prevented mold from growing.&amp;nbsp; So, how on earth could this be the result?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS;&quot;&gt;It is worth reading the entire&amp;nbsp;post for all of the details, but it basically boils down to a lack of moisture.&amp;nbsp; The small patties dehydrate so quickly that mold spores have no chance to gain a foothold on the beef.&amp;nbsp; The quarter pounders, with their larger beef patties,&amp;nbsp;did show signs of mold, and the Happy Meal burgers that went into sealed plastic bags?&amp;nbsp; There was a serious yuck factor on those.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS;&quot;&gt;I hope this is a not too subtle reminder for all of us not to jump to what we believe is &quot;the logical&quot; conclusion.&amp;nbsp; Bravo Kenji!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://burgersandfriesandshakesohmy.blogspot.com/2010/11/hamburger-today-blows-lid-off-mcdonalds.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Greg C.)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299333231503625900.post-3717492479159809690</guid><pubDate>Sat, 06 Nov 2010 19:35:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-11-27T07:09:04.929-06:00</atom:updated><title>I may have just thrown up in my mouth a little...</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;table cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS;&quot;&gt;Growing up in Eau Claire was an interesting existence.&amp;nbsp; Far removed from the nearest big cities,&amp;nbsp;this pin prick of a town (pop. 50,000 or so when I was a kid) drew folks into it from surrounding communities far and wide.&amp;nbsp; This created an atmosphere of commerce that drove the local economy, and warranted an amount of restaurants comparable to cities 2 or 3 times its size.&amp;nbsp; Of course there was an inordinate amount of fast food to be had, but with the modern day behemoth chains the likes of Applebee&#39;s, TGIFs, Olive Garden, et. al. still light years away, the scene was ruled by locally owned and operated treasures.&amp;nbsp; In Eau Claire, in the 70&#39;s and 80&#39;s, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freemasonry.bcy.ca/fiction/fraternities/flintstones.jpg&quot;&gt;Grand Poohbah&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that ruled all had to have been The Chicken Hut.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS;&quot;&gt;3 locations in town, including one that was open 24 hours every day, each seemed busy at all hours.&amp;nbsp; The original owner, Clarence Schneider, lived in the same neighborhood as me.&amp;nbsp; I was his paperboy for a couple of years.&amp;nbsp; He was, I thought, an intimidating figure, who took his food and his reputation seriously.&amp;nbsp; He earned an extremely loyal following by serving great food at an affordable price, and the portions were enormous.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS;&quot;&gt;Over the years I never stopped going to the Chicken Hut.&amp;nbsp; In my high school and college years&amp;nbsp;I would often find myself at the 24 hour a day location across town for late night binges.&amp;nbsp; Eventually Clarence got out of the restaurant biz, and gave one of the eateries to each of his 3 children.&amp;nbsp; Each of his kids took charge of his and her own restaurants, and gave it a unique name.&amp;nbsp; I no longer live in Eau Claire, and don&#39;t get to eat at any of the locations often (if ever).&amp;nbsp; I have&amp;nbsp;heard that one&amp;nbsp;of the&amp;nbsp;businesses (Ron&#39;s Family Restaurant)&amp;nbsp;fell victim to the economic downturn of 2008.&amp;nbsp; 2 locations remain.&amp;nbsp; I hope if I do get back, the experience will be as great as I remember.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS;&quot;&gt;I can remember from an early age visiting the location on 3rd St., just minutes from my family&#39;s house on 9th.&amp;nbsp; I would only order one thing from Chicken Hut (it is worth noting that every location had an enormous fiberglass chicken on the roof); A cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate malt.&amp;nbsp; The burger was I would guess a 1/4 pound, griddled to a perfection.&amp;nbsp; The bun was squishy white.&amp;nbsp; American cheese, pickles, mustard, and ketchup rounded out the beefy goodness.&amp;nbsp; The crinkle-cut fries, as a single order, came mounded beyond comprehension.&amp;nbsp; Seriously, think the equivalent of 2 large orders of McDonald&#39;s fries.&amp;nbsp; The chocolate&amp;nbsp;malt was served in the metal blender cup.&amp;nbsp; More than enough to fill your tall glass twice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS;&quot;&gt;If I think of a cheeseburger, this is the image that springs to mind first.&amp;nbsp; To me, that is what a burger &quot;should be.&quot;&amp;nbsp; It will be different for you, and that is the way it should be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://burgersandfriesandshakesohmy.blogspot.com/2010/11/what-burger-should-be.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Greg C.)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299333231503625900.post-8245513636171296042</guid><pubDate>Sat, 06 Nov 2010 03:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-11-05T23:41:02.881-05:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Burger Planet</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Food Network</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Links</category><title>Burger Planet ~ November 5, 2010</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;All things burger related from anywhere, and everywhere...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
