Dairy Queen restaurants across Texas are celebrating their 75th anniversary, including the location at 1835 W. Louisiana St., McKinney. In commemoration of the milestone, Dairy Queen is asking its customers to share their favorite DQ memories at https://dqtexas.com/anniversary.

“DQ restaurants in Texas have been part of the fabric of the Lone Star State’s communities for 75 amazing years,” Lou Romanus, CEO of the Texas Dairy Queen Operator’s Council, said in a news release. “Almost everyone I meet tells me about a particular memory they experienced at their favorite DQ restaurant in Texas. The anniversary of the DQ brand in Texas is a wonderful opportunity to share these stories with fans across Texas.”

Dairy Queen has Texas-specific menu items that cannot be ordered anywhere else in the country. The Chick’n Fried Steak sandwich, Hungr-Buster and BeltBuster burgers and Texas T-Brand Tacos are all fan favorites, according to the news release. 972-542-0480. https://dqtexas.com

The dilemma of my childhood was “Mr. Misty” or Star Bar.

It wasn’t in Texas, it was Brewer, Maine, July 31, 1993. The Dairy Queen made my bride and I a 3 layer ice cream wedding cake. Their first ever. I was a scoutmaster at the time, and hired my troop (the boys were earning money to pay for a week at scout camp) to cook, serve and clean up. Had an outside wedding at the scout camp, in between camping weeks. We will celebrate 29 years of wedded bliss this year.

Texas has Braums. Why would I go to DQ?

And if I wanted a chocolate malt, I went to Whataburger.
