Stumped at the Olive Garden Frisco TX

My daughters and I stopped into the Olive Garden in Frisco last night. I don’t care what day of the week it is, there’s a wait to get a table. Olive Garden must be doing something right!

When the server delivered dinner, she asked us if we wanted some grated cheese on our meals. As she put it on, she asked us if we knew what kind of cheese was used. Parmesan was my guess…wrong! We tossed out a couple of quick follow-up guesses to no avail. My daughters even went online with their phones hoping Google would provide the answer. Nothing!

We eventually gave in and told her that she won. What was the correct answer? Romano cheese is used. Apparently Parmesan cheese is a bit too spicy for most people so Romano is used unless otherwise requested.

We had a good meal and some fun as well. Next time we’ll be ready!

New Dairy Queen In Frisco Texas

A new Dairy Queen, the Texas Stop Sign, recently opened in Frisco, Texas. The new location is just south of Main on the east side of Preston Road near the heart of old Frisco.

New Dairy Queen in Frisco Texas

I'm not originally from Texas. The Air Force brought me here in 1979 and stationed me at Reese Air Force Base in Lubbock. On one of my many motorcycle rides in the Panhandle, I stumbled upon a Dairy Queen.

While I liked ice cream, I was really hungry that day. I'd never heard of a Country Basket nor cream gravy. It was love at first bite! My tour of duty at Reese ended and I was transfered to Germany (German food is also wonderful but that's the subject of another blog) but I never really forgot about DQ.

As luck would have it, the Air Force brought me back to Texas several times over my 21-year career. I eventually retired and settled in Dallas. Imagine my disappointment to discover that there were only a couple of DQs within driving distance--one in McKinney and one in east Plano.

One of my neighbors is employed by DQ's corporate headquarters and I was complaining about the lack of a local DQ. I got a nice surprise when he told me about the new Frisco location! Needless to say I've been up there a couple of times already.

The Frisco DQ is located at 8890 Preston Road.
