Texas: Culvers (McKinney/Dallas)



PDX Gwailo keeps going like a man obsessed (aren't we all?)


I wrote about wishing I could hit a Culver’s a couple weeks ago. Got my chance this week in McKinney, Texas, a suburb of Dallas within spitting distance of Oklahoma.

The sign outside of Culver’s says “Home of the Butterburger”, but the butter has nothing to do with the patty, but rather the fact they butter the buns, before toasting them. I don’t know whether it actually makes a difference or not, but the holy two B’s (butter and bacon) make anything better for me.

Culver’s is also known for fresh custard, whatever that is, sounds too healthy for me, and, being a Wisconsin based chain, are in the unique position to offer a side of deep-fried cheese curds.

Hand-formed patty, cooked to order, bakery buns, hot fried cheese curds and a butter burger? Heaven on a sliver of wax paper.

Texas: Grumps (Granbury)




AmericanCheese was on some kind of Pee Wee's Big Adventure sabbatical (that "Just Eat It" sign in the window is magic):


Grumps....It's in Granbury, TX. If you don't know where Granbury is, go to a map, find Fort Worth, and go SW. It has a lake. Apparently very scenic.

Anyway, burger. It's a Jr. Bacon cheeseburger in fact.. I know, that's the "jr". It's a really good burger. Bacon, very crisp, just the way we like it. $4.95 gets you the burger, fries, and roasted peanuts in the shell while you wait?

Wow, that's a deal.

They even serve "Frito" pie and Blue Bell Ice Cream.
