Idalou’s pride and joy (er, that’s a little town outside of Lubbock if you’re rusty on your tiny Texas towns trivia) Josh Abbott dropped a collab with Dairy Queen (which is not a Texas brand) that is in fact the platonic ideal of a DQ order.
The country singer pulled together a package based on his favorite childhood meal: a four-piece steak finger country basket (an item available only in Texas which comes with fries, Texas toast, and cream gravy), an iced tea, and a mini M&Ms milk chocolate Blizzard.
Not only is this the best order a person can make at DQ (although maybe we’d like the option for that Blizzard to be vanilla), it is the most Texas order that can be strung together. Best of all, there’s nothing fancy or weird happening here. Just a guy who totally eats this food opening the world’s eyes to the magic of dipping a steak finger into gravy followed by some a Blizzard — hopefully you already know about the magic of skimming hot, salty french fries into chocolate ice cream.
Abbott and DQ go way back at this point — he recorded a new take on the fast food brand’s jingle in 2022.
And it all happened after Abbott gave DQ a shout out on his song “I’ll Sing About Mine” in 2012.
