A restaurant that got its start in Wisconsin and has become a staple throughout the Rockford area and much of Illinois just got name-dropped on a major list.

Does This Wisconsin-Based Restaurant Compare to In-N-Out and Whataburger?

In-N-Out made the list with their famous Double Double, and Whataburger's Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit did as well; while they both sound great, that's about it. Primarily because there isn't an In-N-Out or Whataburger anywhere in the entire state.

Sonic's Cherry Limeade, Jersey Mike's cold subs made "Mike's Way," a Blizzard from Dairy Queen, and the OG sliders from White Castle were also featured as regional must-try fast-food eats.

All those sound really good, but there was one that really got me, and I've got to agree, especially if you've never been to Wisconsin, you gotta try the cheese curds from Culver's.
