October 24, 2007 // Franchising.com // Prairie Du Sac, Wis. – With an expanded menu offering the best value and dinner variety, Culver's® has the answer to satisfy those hearty meal cravings that often accompany the transition to cooler weather. Culver's has introduced five complete dinners including an entrée and the choice of two classic sides, providing busy people on-thego with a fresh and delicious, cooked-like-home meal for a great value.

Culver's prides itself on pleasing guests with a larger selection of great-tasting dinners including the following menu choices: · Chopped Steak Dinner: Try Culver's new, one-third pound chopped steak dinner, a juicy cut of quality beef smothered with grilled onions, mushrooms and a rich and creamy beef gravy. A side of creamy mashed potatoes, seasoned green beans and a dinner roll completes the meal.

· Beef Pot Roast Dinner: Also new to Culver's, a tasty slow-cooked beef pot roast is served with four ounces of tender beef piled high on top of two slices of lightly buttered and toasted sourdough bread, then topped off with a rich and creamy beef gravy. Dinner is complete with a side of creamy mashed potatoes and seasoned green beans.

· Fried Chicken Dinner: Culver's traditional Fried Chicken Dinner is hand-breaded and available with two pieces or four pieces of fresh, tender chicken. A two-piece dinner is made with the choice of a leg and thigh or a breast and wing; the four-piece dinner includes one leg, thigh, breast and wing. All white meat can be substituted for an additional charge. Each dinner includes a serving of gravy-topped mashed potatoes and a side of seasoned green beans, along with a dinner roll.

· North Atlantic Cod Dinner: Each cod filet is three to four ounces and lightly battered by hand just before it's cooked. Available as a two- or three-piece dinner, Culver's North Atlantic Cod is served with a special tartar sauce and a lemon wedge, creamy coleslaw, Culver's famous french fries and a dinner roll.

· Shrimp Dinner: For an alternative taste of the sea, try Culver's lightly breaded, butterfly shrimp dinner, with eight or twelve pieces of scrumptious shrimp served with a special recipe cocktail sauce and a lemon wedge. Creamy coleslaw, french fries and a dinner roll make this ocean-fresh catch extra satisfying for fall.
