Culver’s ButterBurger Cheese

The ButterBurger is dangerous because Culver’s people don’t treat it like an also-ran. The buttered, toasted bun and straightforward beef-and-cheese setup give it a different lane from the sauce-heavy Big Mac or bacon-loaded Baconator. A matchup with the Double-Double gets especially interesting: two regional favorites with fiercely committed followings and relatively simple formulas. Does the ButterBurger have enough pull to beat the burgers everybody grew up seeing on TV? That’s exactly the kind of upset this league needs.
