I was talking with some friends at lunch about Dairy Queen and we had a fun discussion about how it always in some 2nd tier part of the town and kind of a folksy place, in other words, no so nice. I missed DQ a bit because I used to get my banana malt from the DQ on Welch Ave when I was in Ames, IA.
So after dinner, I brought Markkus to our closest DQ at Park and K. It was EMPTY at 7:00 pm. No jokes. Most Dairy Queens are family own and staffed by the SAME family, unlike Wendy's or MacDonald's it is staffed by amigos.
Back to the ice-cream, I ordered a bowl and a small cone for Markkus. It wasn't entirely bad, but it was just too much. I guess it will take me another couple of years before I crave for Dairy Queen again. Nothing really fancy, seeing the family owns and operates the DQ, it reminded me that many of us are actually struggling to survive everyday.
