The Dairy Queen Texas Josh Abbott Meal has been announced between the brand and the band as a celebratory meal deal for avid fans alike to try out this spring. The special edition meal is inspired by lead singer Josh Abbott's favorite childhood meal and boasts a four-piece Steak Finger Country Basket with an iced tea to drink and a mini M&M's Milk Chocolate Blizzard Treat. The meal comes with a limited-edition Josh Abbott cup, but only while supplies last.
CEO of Texas Dairy Queen Operators' Council Lou Romanus spoke on the Dairy Queen Texas Josh Abbott Meal saying, "Texans work hard and play hard, and when they are hungry, they come to DQ restaurants in Texas for their favorite Treats & Eats. We have enjoyed working with Josh the last couple of years who brings his nostalgia and passion for Dairy Queen into this new initiative."
