PRAIRIE DU SAC, Wis. — One year after it caused a statewide mini-frenzy, the CurderBurger is returning to Culver’s. The restaurant chain is adding CurderBurgers on menus next Wednesday through the end of October.The special burger was born from an April Fool’s Day online joke, but, says the company, people took the concept seriously. So last October 15, National Cheese Curd Day, Culver’s introduced CurderBurgers as one-day special. Customers queued at Culver’s across Wisconsin. Every Culver’s in Madison ran out of curds. The event resulted in record sales at many Culver’s locations nationwide. About 20% of the chain’s restaurants set a single-day sales record. Some 136,000 CurderBurgers were sold.
For cheeseheads especially. The CurderBurger is pure Wisconsin — a Culver’s deluxe burger with an oversieze cheese curd on top.
