Culver's

Rockford is home to two of the most popular fast-food chains that fans believe need to cast a wider net.

I wasn't born in Rockford but I have been here long enough to say it feels like one of the biggest small-towns in America.

If you've been clamoring for a delicious In-N-Out burger while living in Rockford, it's going to be a while.

There's something to be said for a little hometown bias.

Enjoying delicious Culver's frozen custard with a purpose sounds perfect to me. This is what your boss would call a 'win-win situation' for future farmers.

Turns out, people tend to apply at a hometown business more than any other, at least when it comes to Illinois residents.

This burger chain, that beat In-N-Out, makes it so easy to fall in love with them. The burgers with that extra savory flavor, those fries and that custard.

Is there anything better than cheese curds? Only FREE cheese curds.

Last year, Rockford and Stateline residents were shocked when Culver's suddenly stopped offering its fried chicken, now another Culver's fan favorite has suddenly disappeared.

We're so used to Culver's we barely even think twice about their food. What do you think a newcomer to the restaurant would have to say about it?
Business Insider tried it out for the first time and this is what they had to say about it.
