Culver's Crispy Chicken

Grade: 74

So... I don't know what's up with this huge boom of fancy burger and fancy milkshake restaurants. When I was growing up there was only Steak n' Shake. Now there's that, Five Guys, Shake Shack, BurgerFi, Culver's, Freddy's, and probably more that just aren't coming to mind. All of them even have their own take on milkshakes. Freddy's specializes in frozen yogurt or froyo shakes, and Culver's does a mean frozen custard. But you know what none of them specialize in? Making a great chicken sandwich. That said, of the ones that offer one at all I believe Culver's did the best at making a decent standard crispy chicken sandwich. There's nothing fancy about it, but you can taste the freshness of both the chicken and the toppings so while it's nothing to write home about it's fine for what it is.

Chick-fil-A's Deluxe (with American cheese)

Grade: 88

So I knew I wanted the Deluxe because that's the best version of the standard sandwich aka the one that's more than just pickles and a bun, but I panicked when the employee asked me what cheese I wanted. I had no idea it automatically came with cheese so instead of selecting "no cheese" which I didn't realize was an option at the time in order to give this sandwich the tiniest advantage possible I selected the most boring cheese product imaginable... and you know what? It was still amazing. When we tried this one charon pouted and literally said "oh no, it's so good". He's been boycotting Chick-fil-A for a while now, not because of their terrible business practices in the upper levels (though that is as good a reason as any to abstain from giving this restaurant any more funding than is absolutely necessary), but because he thought the restaurant was terribly overrated for the quality of food it offers. Well it turns out he was wrong.

This was the first sandwich that made us both take a second bite to confirm that is was indeed as good as we thought it was. Say what you will about the founder or the company as a whole, but they make a damn good chicken sandwich Disclaimer: this is not an advertisement for Chick-fil-A I mean, if your tagline is "We Didn't Invent The Chicken, Just The Chicken Sandwich." you'd better have the product to back up that blatantly fallacious claim.
