Sun, 6 Jan 2002 03:29:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scottcolson - As I sit to write this review of Culvers, I am torn. Part of me, the physician, wants to write about how terrible the food is for you. The other part of me, the guy who loves to eat, wants to tell you how wonderful the food is!

So, I guess...
