Two solid strikes right down the middle of the plate. The breading on their walleye is very light and the fish had good texture and flavor. I have never had the chocolate eclair custard before, but it is outstanding. I need a nap.

I guess it's an illustration of the fact that "Edzo" Lakin pointed out in this SFOB video:
Burgers are not rocket science. Fries are a lot harder.

Yes, because there's not much else to eat in the city of Chicago. We clearly need more fast food.

apparently there is indeed nothing nearly as interesting to LTHForum members as Culver's.

As much as I like In-N-Out (just had one the other day at the best INO -- by Hollywood High), I'd rather eat burgers from a one-off diner. But I think my fellow snobs are missing something important about the recent Culver's posts: WALLEYE. How does Culver's WALLEYE compare to other fast food WALLEYE? For chissakes, I wish I could get WALLEYE somewhere in Chicago without looking so hard. Turns out the Culvers ran supper clubs in Baraboo before getting into the fast food biz. Some credit for keeping it real, plz.
WALLEYE
