GIVEAWAY! Culvers 2 Free Basket Meal Coupons!

Have you noticed that Culvers has changed up their chicken?!  If you haven't, they are boasting "Plumper, Healtheir AND Tastier"!

"Guests can relish the plumper, tastier, natural-cut chicken breasts on the classic Grilled and Crispy Chicken Sandwiches. Also now made with antibiotic free chicken are the Chicken Tenders and Buffalo Chicken Tenders, including those in the Scoopie Kids Meals."

Thanks to Culvers, I had the opportunity to give the new Crispy Chicken Sandwich a whirl!  It was a nice, plump piece of chicken.  The "crisp" was a thin layer of naughtiness!  *smile*  It was tastey and filling.  One of my fave parts of the sandwich is that it came served with lettuce, pickle and tomato...NO mayo slopped all over like other places!  Of course, if you want mayo, you can certainly request that...but at least I didn't find myself upset that I had forgotten to ask them to 'hold the mayo' and trying to rectify the situation by wiping it off with a few napkins.  Nope, not at Culvers!

And now, for the best part....1 lucky winner will receive 2 coupons good for any Free Culvers basket meal!  This way you can choose to give the new chicken a try as well!
