This Iowa Dairy Queen is a 'good place for u kno what' according to America's longest-serving senator. But when I gave it a try, I came away disappointed.

• Sen. Chuck Grassley says that this Iowa Dairy Queen is a "good place for u kno what."
• After coming across it during my reporting trip to Des Moines, I figured I had to give it a try.

WINDSOR HEIGHTS, Iowa — In 2014, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa issued a now-infamous advisory about the Dairy Queen in this small residential community just outside of Des Moines.

This Dairy Queen location, the now 89-year-old senator wrote on Twitter, is a "good place for u kno what."

Grassley, currently the longest-serving United States senator, later clarified that he was simply referring to ice cream. Since then, he's made a number of trips to other Dairy Queen locations for "u kno what."

I'm currently in Iowa for a reporting trip, covering the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition's Annual Spring Kick-Off, where the religious conservative organization is hosting several major 2024 GOP presidential candidates.

But before that, I ended up taking a detour to Windsor Heights that ultimately ended in disappointment.

Here's how my journey went.
