If you happened to stop by the Madison Dairy Queen last week, you might have noticed something a little different.

The burgers and Blizzards were the same as they've always been — but order some fries, and you'd think you'd stepped into a McDonald's.

DeLon Mork is the owner of the Dairy Queen — already well known for regularly selling the most Blizzards on the annual Miracle Treat Day of any store in the country.

But on the morning of Dec. 11, he got a call that his Tuesday morning supply truck had accidentally left Fargo without his delivery — including his fries.

"It was of immediate concern," Mork said — they had 6 bags of fries left in the building, about a third of what they need to get through an average day.

He asked if he could simply drive up to Fargo and grab what he needed — not a great solution, but what seemed like the best one.

Until, he said, a manager called over to a nearby McDonald's.

An agreement was struck — with payment, of course, Mork added — and just like that, Dairy Queen was serving McDonald's fries for a day.

It was definitely noticed, he said, with several people jokingly asking if they were eating fries from McDonald's.

"We all get along," Mork said. "We're competitors, and yet we're friends."

It's not that uncommon of a thing in Madison, he said — they've worked with Pizza Ranch and Taco John's before as well when someone was in need of buns or soda syrup.

"I was surprised that it got the attention that it did," he said.

As thanks, they decorated an ice cream cake for the McDonald's for helping out and posted a picture on their Facebook page.

Regarding whether there was any issue with the cross-restaurant service, Mork said "apparently it wasn't an issue, because no one said anything about it," adding that "I would easily defend it if I did cross a line. We like our neighbors," Mork said.

A manager at the Madison McDonald's declined to comment.
