Hello everyone, this is, running on empty...
food review!
Uh, you might notice a smile on my face
and I can't help but laugh. I gotta make sure uh, as I was just about to start filming,
this guy in a convertible pulled up next and I think he's gettin' in a fight with someone across the parking lot
and I'm dead serious, he was there, he was yelling the f-word, he was saying "You wanna start somethin' with me?"
and uh, if something happens I apologize,
but it's also good to start recording just in case, you know?
*Bag rattles*
May as well have a record of it
*EHMM MMM*
Anyway, to uh, get into the review here, and yes, I do have my doors locked
um,
To get into the review here, this is, this is a first
This is a first for the channel, a first for the running on empty series,
and it's an exciting first of all things
I mean, I don't know, maybe they're fighting over there because of Culver's.
You know they just like it so much.
I've never had Culver's before.
I've never reviewed it before, I've never had it before.
You know?
I mean this is exciting for me
because I'm really, I'm just curious as to what this is, what it tastes like because I've gotten a lot of
recommendations for it, a lot of suggestions, and now I'm finally able to do it.
*We see a peek of that beautiful hair*
Alright, it looks like they're gone so we can let our guard down a little bit.
So today's review is for the Culver's Bacon Deluxe Burger.
um
I got my trusty notebook here. And this burger comes with two patties of midwest raised beef,
uh, two strips of bacon,
Wisconsin cheese, not that that Michigan cheese,
Um, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, on their famous buttered, toasted, bun.
And that's what Culver's, I think really likes to brag about of their burgers you know the butter burgers.
Um
Here's what the box looks like. You can see it's actually pretty. You know, they actually have some nice decals on it.
Um
It's colorful. They're really proud of Wisconsin. You know, you can see right here. Uh, there's a map of the state of Wisconsin.
Um
And there's the burger! It's two-dimensional, uh, so that's what it looks like,
and uh,
it'll be interesting.
Just kidding about the two-dimensional part.
*Glorious sounds of Reviewbrah opening the box*
Okay, let's look at this.
Here's what it looks like, here's the burger. I'm going to hold it from different
lengths and distances from the camera because I know sometimes the sun can bleach things out a little bit,
but this is what it looks like real up-close if you can see that.
We'll take it out of the
wrapper which is a little unorthodox, but,
I like doing that, like living on the edge.
*Angelic ray of light shines upon legendary burger*
That, that's what it looks like.
And uh,
there I am holding the blessed Culver's Burger.
uh
I think all the ingredients are there. There's the buttered bun,
the beef patties, I can see the cheese, the strips of bacon.
I don't wanna really tear it apart too much.
Uhm, You can see a little bit of the mayo and, uh, pickles there.
So, I think you can thoroughly see it.
And now I'm just gonna try it.
So the name of this again is the Culver's Bacon Deluxe Burger.
*From Culver's*
I'm really excited about this
Uh, so I'm going to try it now let you know what it tastes like.
So it's the Culver's Bacon Deluxe Burger from Culver's

You know about a year and a half ago, I think it was about that, that long ago
Again, this is the first time I've ever tried Culver's, but about a year and a half ago
I got an email from the Culver's marketing team.
They said, 'Well we have a proposition for you.'
um
'If you'd be interested in reviewing one of our new Burgers we'll fly you out to Wisconsin
and uh
assuming
you're not too far away, you can go there. You can review it, and that'll be that.'
They said 'Well where you located?' I said 'New York'
AND THEY SAID 'NO'
Now what does this burger taste like exactly, ladies and gentlemen?
Again, this is the Culver's Bacon Deluxe
I'm just making sure I have all the ingredients on track. Comes with two patties, two beef patties, two strips of bacon,
Wisconsin cheese, lettuce, tomato,
onions, pickles, on the buttered bun.
So it has a lot of ingredients, you know, its a DELUXE BURGER,
as the name, um, correctly implies.
*sip*
How does it taste exactly?
*sniff*
Well to give some initial observations, I think there's, when it comes to fast-food burgers, I think you have two tiers of burgers.
There's a low tier and then there's the high tier.
The low tier burgers are kinda like McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's nowadays,
The high tier is kind of like Five Guys, In-N-Out
Um, I'll even go ahead and
um
Pump Steak n Shake in there, you know with it, and I'll say Culver's as well.
(YAY HE LIKES IT :D)
The difference that you notice of these high tier burgers is just the overall quality of the meat,
The quality of the ingredients,
How everything blends together, how it tastes, how flavorful it is.
And that's something that really stuck out to me with this Culver's burger
um
My real initial observation, you know, I'll talk about, have a little runny nose, I'll talk about
What um, you know, what I say in depth about this, what all the ingredients, how all that is is?
People really, you know, they praise this burger.
They say 'You've gotta try Culver's.' you know? 'You've gotta try Culver's, you gotta get it.
This is going to be the best thing you're ever gonna eat.'
And I would not lump it that far
to say it's the best thing I ever had.
It's a very good burger,
but please compare it among the lines of say Steak n Shake, for instance
Um, when I was looking at it
and I was tasting it,
I was very much reminded of a good Steak n Shake burger
as I ate this.
Um, so please if you want to, you know, take a personal example and compare it to that immediately,
you can say this was like
'Oh yeah, I had a good burger from steak and shake last Friday. Yeah, that's a similar to that.'
You know, or something along those lines.
Now in terms of the specifics here,
Mumbles: I'm gonna mhhmh
This burger itself is very flavorful. I mean the beet patties are, they're not wafer thin, they're not too thick either,
but two stacked up on each other does give a good amount of flavor.
um
They're very juicy, I mean they are juicy. They're flavorful.
You gotta give them credit for that.
All the ingredients really do blend together well, I mean, they're fresh, you can taste they're fresh. They're crisp.
um
Teeming with moisture, which in some ways is a bad thing, but this time it's just, it's flavorful.
All blends together so nicely.
um
I could even taste a tiny bit of that little butteriness,
um
that's, you know, on the buns and what-not, um.
And I was worried for a little bit that it was gonna make everything too slippery,
and some of the ingredients were falling out,
but at least the, the meat and the buns were intact and they were
um
in place, at least that's, that's a, a good, good sign.
um
So that's good, at least.
The, uh, you know, otherwise, if there's one complaint that I could put in with this burger,
and it's not really a complaint, more, more or less a suggestion.
I think this burger by itself is fine, but I think if there's something that would, amplify it for instance,
And then this is maybe just me adding a personal opinion, um,
If there's one thing I think though, that could really make this above and beyond, they should put some ketchup on it I think.
Something as simple as ketchup, just
a little ketchup that's all that they need. A tiny little dab of ketchup.
I think that would really set it above and beyond, because the one thing that I thought it was missing was some sort of real
external, um
You know, type of dressing, and yeah they might have the butter
um
Some might have some mayo, but I think just that little, that little bit of that,
I don't know how you wanna describe it, not necessarily tartness, but
just from the tomato ketchup. I think that would just really complement it so nicely and just put the little,
little cherry on top; The literal cherry on top.
Um, because if you didn't know this,
tomato ketchup actually does come from cherries. You know, they're both red. That's, that's the case actually. So that's why they say 'Put the cherry on top'
when they talk about things like that.
Now, this burger itself was around $5 in price. Give or take,
um
and you know, for what you're paying for it,
you are getting your money's worth.
And that's something that's important. One other thing that I do want to mention in terms of the bacon,
you're not going to be getting these huge strips of bacon unfortunately, but they are flavorful.
They might be small, but they do have some flavor in there at least.
So do keep in mind, you know, that might look small,
but it does pack a little bit of a punch in terms of flavor, at least, so keep that in mind there.
um
So when it comes to this burger, though, given the price, um, which, you know, might seem a little high, but again,
you're getting your money's worth. This is a very good burger.
Given everything else, I'm gonna have to give this burger
a 9.4 out of 10
I enjoy it, um, I could understand
the hype about it, because it certainly is good, and uh, I think I'll see myself frequenting Culver's from now on.
I think they did a good job, and uh, looks like I just discovered another favorite Burger place.
That's all I have for you ladies and gentlemen. I'm your host, this is The Report of The Week, and today's review is for the
Culver's Bacon Deluxe Burger from Culver's. Thank you for watching and do take care. :)
