my Texan wife...

[coach_jshelton]

likes this place called Dairy Queen(sp)?...what's the deal with that place?...everytime we go to a DQ in Colorado & they don't sell the steak finger basket, I swear she'd shoot me if she had a firearm nearby...moving back to Texas will increase my chance for survival (I hope)!

 

[granger]

Funny thing about that is that despite the red DQ sign being called a "Texas Stop sign", the company is headquartered in Minnesota...

DQ is the proverbial bomb. Have you ever wondered what the perfect condiment for french fries is? Well, it's DQ gravy, my friend. Enjoy.

 

[coach_jshelton]

that's classic...the wife & kids are huge gravy fans...the Coloradoan in me keeps saying gravy is for biscuits, please pass the ketchup...lol

 

[Red_Devil_DDS]

That's fine, but I must inform you that you, too, will be turned. Ketchup is for the 'fingers and gravy for the fries.<P>I recently finished acclamating an Idaho couple to Texas before returning them to their natural habitat. It's the Texas Catch and Release program. I'm here if you have any questions.

 

[coach_jshelton]

i leave for the mountains tomorrow morning for some catch - hopefully not too much release - no gravy, just some good grilled trout

I grew up on Wisconsin DQ's and the Texas ones are much, much better.

In Texas, when you order your burger you have to tell what you want left off the burger, otherwise everything is added. My family and I were on trip north of Texas. We stopped for lunch at a DQ in Rapid City SD and tried our normal way to order. We got our burgers with meat, bread and Catsup of all things! I have never found out how for north you have to go before things change. Maybe its at the Red River.

 

[markf]

North is when you ask the waiter what kind of Cokes do you have? POP

Are you sure you're from Texas?<P>I think in Texas the only cokes served should be Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper, and maybe Diet Coke for those of us who are trying to watch our figures...

 

[Dale Miller]

I'm sure the intent was to write Ketchup. Maybe too much college education.

 

[Red_Devil_DDS]

Well catsup is an accepted spelling, although you don't hear it called that in Texas too much...

 

[Coach Wentrcek]

Round here "catsup" loosely translates to "wut the cat ate fur dinnur." :lol: :shock:

I think that the D-Q is a 6-Man tradition. It was the required stop after the game if a town between us and the opponent had one.

I thought DQ was only a Texas based chain, am surprised to hear it is a National chain. Guess I have lived a sheltered Texas life.

Reminds me of the old joke: Do you know how Dairy Queen got pregant? Burger King forgot to wrap his Whopper.
