Culver’s

My girlfriend has a gluten intolerance allergy but was curious to try a concrete for the first time, knowing there was a risk of cross contamination but being willing to risk it. We told the drive-through opperator that she had a gluten allergy, and they checked the ingredients for us and marked the order on the sign with a gluten (wheat) allergy flag. When we pulled up to the window, the nicest employee gave us a number and warned us that it would be a few minutes because... they cleaned the blenders, the tools to mix and scoop, and even the extruder. This level of service at a fast food restaurant is unparalleled even compared to Chick-fil-A! We will be visiting other locations in the future with hopes of equal service!

Culver's is great! For ice cream, their flavor of the day is my favorite option, because they often have good extras added in which may not be in the menu. Some folks like the "concrete mixers" for their ice cream, like more of a milkshake, but I find that the blending basically pulverizes any brownie or cookie dough chunks etc which I'd normally like to bite into separately. So, I recommend the Flavor of the Day as a single scoop. That's my favorite! Also, gluten free options are great! You can order any burger as gluten free, for a small $1-$2 fee. The gluten free buns come in a bag on the side, and the burger comes in the box (but without any buns on it). You can open the box, add the bottom bun, close the box, flip the box over, then open the box and add the top bun without a huge mess that way. It works great every time!
