Although I grew up going to the local Dairy Queen, in Linden, NJ, for ice cream, last Thursday was my first time at a DQ since it began expanding into fried food. It should stick to ice cream. I ordered chicken strips and French fries. While everything was perfectly fried, indeed the strips were remarkably juicy and tender, none of the food had any taste!
