And while Shake Shack's shackburger has become my go-to fast food in the city, I often feel like there's something missing from my greasy feast.

To get a good look at what makes this burger chain - dare I say it - better than In-N-Out or Shake Shack, I visited Wisconsin, where I had my first Culver's experience many years ago.
