I love this location on the corner of Washington and Broadway for so many reasons. It's the only walk-up Dairy Queen in town - no indoor seating. It's seasonal - only open during the summer months. It's right next to the swimming pool, so there are always giddy children running around with wet heads. And it still has the old retro style - that same old reliable sign welcoming us on a leisurely Sunday evening.
My mom is a peanut buster parfait kind of gal. My hubby loves his hot fudge sundaes. I don't actually have a usual - I wonder what that means. Maybe it's a character flaw that I can't commit to one frozen treat. But tonight's Thin Mint blizzard? Killer.
I am 34 years old. Gre up in a town with the only "fast food" restaurant being a Dairy Queen. And we always called it DQ. Kids today have nothing on me. Also the one in Mandan is way better than the ones in Bismarck. Well worth the drive or bike ride. Your previous egg post is dead on! Do you have trouble peeling them when boiled? I do.
ReplyDeleteI love that DQ as well...I like a vanilla cone dipped in chocolate!
ReplyDeleteHa, I guess I'm the weird one by not calling it DQ! I'll have to cruise to Mandan and do a little contrast/compare someday... :)
ReplyDeleteI have a total THING for DQ. They are nowhere to be found in Seattle proper. You have to go out to the suburbs to find one. That's what's called "motivated snacking." "Honey, will you drive 20 miles up to Lynnwood and get me a mint oreo blizzard?"
ReplyDeleteReading your blog is a cross-cultural experience for me :) Love that's it's a walk-up only open in the summer. I've never heard of that.
