Need some feedback.
My brother is a non-native Minnesotan who has lived there for the last 15 years.
I asked him about Culver’s and his response was “Not a fan. I think DQ puts out a better product. I’d rather drive 15 minutes to DQ than 2 minutes to Culvers.”
Also said the DQ Blizzard menu is stronger than the Culvers concrete.
Not trying to be a troll. Just curious if this is mindset that exists or if this is a by-product of him not being a native.
When he says a better product, is he speaking about the ice cream/custard or is he talking about cheese burgers?
I want to prepare my response accordingly
Ice cream specifically. It’s the main draw for him. Hot eats are basically the appetizer for the entree of ice cream for him.
Hard disagree. Blizzards are still fire but (to me) soft serve ice cream is a diluted imitation of the real thing. Custard gets closer in the texture department. And concretes can be customized, so it sounds like he’s just doing that part wrong.
Hmmmmmm my wife has COVID and I’ve been solo parenting all week. A concrete mixer after bedtime might just be what I need to turn this week around.
I can only speak for myself. And I’m not going to yuck your brothers yums here because frankly, I will eat them both happily.
That said, there is a big difference between soft serve ice cream and frozen custard texture wise. I do love the variety that DQ offers in terms of specialty blizzards and what not, but I find the texture and the life span of a concrete mixer to be preferred. It’s rare that I worry about a mixer melting and spilling all over my car, but I do worry about that with DQ. I don’t think the soft serve ice cream lasts long enough from a consistency perspective.
I won’t say no to either once. They both are good in their own way, but saying DQ soft serve is worth a longer trip… that just doesn’t work for me.
Appreciate the perspective gang. Always nice when we can have a civil discourse on Fast Food.
I wish they’d bring back the snickers blizzard
I get dragged to DQ a lot over Culver’s because it’s the only place around here you can get a twist cone.
Do they still make crunch cones?
Not to my knowledge, but I’m a dilly bar man from way back and haven’t really looked.
Cherry or chocolate?
Chocolate is the standard order but I’ll hit a cherry or butterscotch if I’m feeling dangerous.
I had a peanut buster parfait recently and I was reminded that must be eaten immediately after it is ordered or it’s not as good as it should be
This is why I often go for the buster bar.
Dairy Queen blizzard has to go down in four minutes or the battle’s already lost
If any of you Ope’ers ever come out to the Palm Springs area I’ll meet you at Keedy’s in Palm Desert for the best milkshake/malt and pancakes you’ll ever have.
Could just be that @RyMo bro doesn’t like custard? I know I don’t.
That’s ok. To each their own.
Need to know if they also give you the leftover milkshake in the mixing cup as a post-milkshake chaser.
