Piquant QSR Patty Melts

The Dairy Queen Spicy Patty Melt is Only Available in Texas

— November 5, 2022 — Lifestyle
The Dairy Queen Spicy Patty Melt is being launched as an exclusive menu item for the Lone Star State that's ready to provide a range of flavors that don't hold back on the heat. The sandwich features a quarter-pound of 100% pure beef that's paired with two slices of pepper jack cheese, Jalitos, lettuce and a tangy jalapeño ranch sauce. The sandwich comes served on Texas Toast to ensure it can handle the ample number of ingredients in the recipe.

The Dairy Queen Spicy Patty Melt is being launched at nearly 600 locations in Texas, but is only around for a short while through November 27, 2022. The sandwich is reported to have just the right level of spice and heat.
