| - New York Cheesecake Blizzard with a fudge core.... . There couldn't be a better way to end a Friday, in my mind. Ice cream is my weakness. Had it never been invented, I'd probably never have to worry about my weight. No food makes me quite as happy as ice cream.
Blizzards take some of that love to a new place. I'm a think and creamy milkshake, kind of girl. If it can easily be had through a straw, it's not nearly as good. I can work for my food, I'm okay with that. The only challenge with this blizzard is that I always get a large. The large cup at DQ is tall and skinny. That's fine for beverages and it probably fits in all cup holders for every car manufacturer but for me, even with a long spoon, I'm going to get my hands dirty.
I don't waste food. I especially don't waste soft serve vanilla, swirled with chunks of creamy cheesecake and filled with a cold fudge topping. It's just not my style. So, a tall skinny cup with a long spoon can satisfy most but I'm looking for the last drop.
This particular location is somewhere around a year old. I couldn't be happier to have it within a few miles of my home. I've run passed this area several times when I was training for half marathons or Spartan races. I know to some, that's still not close but it's within 5 miles. New and generally well tended; this location is of course staffed with high school kids. Not a problem but they definitely need to be a little more aware, as most kids do. I asked the cashier what was in the Jurassic Chomp and while he did admit he didn't know, he still didn't know. That blizzard was released several weeks ago, I can't be the first one to ask.
The staff is overall, friendly and attentive. They do move quickly and will fix any mistakes. I haven't experienced issues with my ice cream obsession but I've seen a few come back to the counter with something missing on a food item or another problem. The crew is very willing to correct that and move on. Hopefully, this place continues to stay clean and full of decent staff.
