Yes. I did just confirm that Torchy’s and Fuzzy’s are indeed real places. However, the closest Torchy’s to me is 90 miles, and the closest Fuzzy’s is 180 miles. Therefore, all the other places are better. A disappointing meal is better than no meal at all.

That said, the top 4 for me here are Culver’s, Shake Shack, McAlister’s, and Five Guys.

[esteban]

I never been to Fuzzy's or heard of it before this survivor. But I found the menu somewhat appealing. Torchy's, 5 Guys and Fuzzy's are the only ones I'd say were at least probably slightly above average. Then it's probably Culver's, Firehouse, Moe's, McAllisters then Shake Shack for me. Shake Shack might be good if they got orders right. I don't know.

[Vieux]

I think Firehouse Sub is better than McAlister's, but I don't know much about much. So

i go to fuzzy's about once a week just because of how close it is to my apartment so i can confirm that it's real

[crabdrew]

wait woah chipotle got knocked out way too early wtf

[Crab Mech]

Culver's doesn't even fit the theme. It should have been eliminated early on. It's a drive-through.

They have a drive-thru, but they bring the food to your table. Tough call.

In addition, they never actually hand the food through the window. You order and pay at the window, and then you pull up to the designated fast casual auto zone, where they bring the food out to the car. Definitely screams of fast casual.

That's just drive thru with extra steps.

The extra steps are what makes it fancy. Like a salad fork.

[Crab Mech]

They actually have Culver's here. Saw when I googled them earlier. Might have to hit one up, but they're all pretty far outside the city.

The burgers and cheese curds and such are fine and all, but the concrete mixer is really where it’s at. I recommend peanut butter and Oreo.

I mean, you do you, but I always rent a tuxedo before I hit the Culver’s drive-thru-and-then-pull-up-so-we-can-bring-your-food-out-to-you.

[Druid]

I didn't know Culver's had a drive thru. We always eat inside on fine china with our salad forks.
