Best Drive-thru

Culver's Frozen Custard

A drive through Culver's includes a viewing a sign near the drive-thru window that says the reason customers must wait longer for their food at Culver's is because it isn't pre-made. Culver's specializes in butterburgers (which means that the top of the hamburger bun is lightly buttered) and thick, stout frozen custard that every day comes in vanilla and the flavor of the day, which recently have been such exotic flavors as Glorious Grasshopper, Wholly Whoppers, and Mint Truffle. It's comforting, isn't it, to think that a fast food place would deliberately slow things down?
