Culver’s new Pretzel Haus Pub Burger plays into the burger boom nicely, offering guests a complex flavor profile brimming with craftsmanship.

“This concept was the second-most successful burger we’ve ever tested,” says Quinn Adkins, Director of Menu Development at the burger chain. “It’s an incredibly nuanced and harmonious balance of flavors and textures.”

Beef and bacon provide dependable bases, but it’s the toppings that make this burger sing: Wisconsin cheddar cheese and Culver’s new signature cheddar-cheese sauce top the beef, along with house-pickled onions and a tangy mustard bistro sauce.

This marks the first time Culver’s has used its cheese sauce on a sandwich—it’s usually paired with fries or onion rings—but for a burger on a pretzel bun, it made total sense.

All the elements work well together, but Adkins says the pickled onions and bistro sauce truly make it click. “The balanced vinegar/sweetness from the onions really brightens the flavor and stands up to the richness from the beef and cheese, and the combination of a touch of horseradish and Dijon mustard in the bistro sauce complement the other flavors as well.”

Attention to detail at every layer has made this burger one of the chain’s best-tested concepts in flavor, appearance and value.

PRAIRIE DU SAC, Wis., April 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Spring is a time of new beginnings. Birds are chirping, flowers are blooming and Culver's is unveiling a new addition to its menu. The Pretzel Haus Pub Burger arrives in restaurants today for a limited time, and here are five good reasons to try it.

Culver's Pretzel Haus Pub Burger with Wisconsin Cheese Curds

Chewy Pretzel Bun – The light and chewy pretzel bun doesn't just top the Pretzel Haus Pub Burger—it crowns it. The pretzel bun tastes just like an authentic soft pretzel. Do you even need four more reasons to try this burger?
Crunchy Pickled Onions – Pickled veggies are a rising restaurant craze, so why not jump on this delicious trend? Our onions are pickled right in our restaurants, as they patiently await their moment to top your burger.
Creamy Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese Sauce – This is no nacho cheese sauce—it's better. Made from real Wisconsin cheddar cheese, this sauce is gooey and mild, and it cascades down the burger to satisfy your cheesy cravings.
Tangy Bistro Sauce – The Pretzel Haus Pub Burger packs a tangy punch with its bistro sauce, made with horseradish and mustard mayo. The saltiness of this sauce perfectly complements the creaminess of the Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese Sauce.
Midwestern Beef and Bacon – Technically, this is two reasons, but both Culver's bacon and beef hail from the same place: the Midwest. Like every Culver's burger, the Pretzel Haus Pub Burger is made from fresh, never-frozen, 100 percent Midwestern beef for a juicy, flavorful burger. Our bacon is made from lean pork, seasoned with a special spice blend and naturally hardwood smoked.

"The Pretzel Haus Pub Burger gives our guests the chance to taste some delicious ingredients and flavor combinations they haven't seen on our menu before," said Julie Fussner, vice president of marketing at Culver's. "Guests will not want to miss their chance to try this burger."

Don't wait too long to try the Pretzel Haus Pub Burger. It will be available at Culver's restaurants until May 27, or while supplies last.
