Dickey's Barbecue Pit CEO, Laura Rea Dickey, Kicks Off National Barbecue Month with WFAA

ast Saturday,  Dickey’s Barbecue Pit and Dallas Maverick’s star PJ Washinton partnered up to treat basketball fans from across the Dallas/Ft Worth metroplex to a one of a kind smokin’ event!

With over 400+ people in attendance at Dickey’s original location in Dallas, guests lined up early to receive autographs and pictures from the guest of honor. Dickey’s sold a dine in record of 146 lbs of brisket and 79 pounds of kielbasa-style polish sausage in three hours during the event. These lucky fans also had an opportunity to enjoy the hickory-smoked taste of Dickey’s Legit. Texas. Barbecue., as well as the limited time offer of Dickey’s Mavs and Cheese kielbasa sausage, all to the sounds of a Sports Radio 1310 The Ticket live broadcast, as well as a DJ providing tunes that keep the crowd pumped up.

To keep the fans cool, the Dickey's team provided free water and sausage samples to guests while they patiently waited to meet the Maverick’s star who stayed until every guest in line was taken care of. Dickey’s outside bar was the perfect setting for fans to unwind, socialize and responsibly sample The Dickey Foundation and Panther Island Brewery’s signature Legit. Texas. Lager. Additional partnering vendors at the event were Red Bull, Sazerac, and Modelo.

As guests shift more and more to online ordering, curb side pick up and delivery, it was a nostalgic return to a very full dining room of customers. The PJ Washington signing event shows that while folks enjoy off premise dining and respond to promotions like Free Delivery on dickeys.com orders, diners will still turn out for the right partnership in person.

“We were so thrilled to team up with PJ Washington for this great event at our original Dickey’s location,” said Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO, Dickeys Capital Group. “We appreciate PJ and his team so much for spending the day celebrating barbecue, basketball, and our loyal guests.”

Guests can also purchase Dickey’s mouthwatering Rancher’s Max and Cheese Sausage directly from their local Dickey’s store or a nearby Walmart store by clicking HERE.

“The entire team at Dickey’s would like to thank PJ Washington for coming out to our store and treating our guests to such a great afternoon,” said, Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, Inc. “What a great way to prove that barbecue and basketball make a winning team. Thank you, PJ!”

Falling for the ‘Cue

#Let us bring the 'cue to you!

 Good barbecue has a way of bringing people together, a lot better than any other cuisine. The time and effort that goes into even learning how to smoke a brisket or a rack of fall-off-the-bone pork ribs takes things to a whole different level. Take the stress of grilling away with the help of our experienced pitmasters, so you too can enjoy your backyard barbecue. This is where the culture at [Dickey’s Barbecue Pit](https://www.dickeys.com/) all started over 80 years ago. Back in 1941, our grandfather Travis Dickey launched the grand opening of our very first BBQ joint sharing his love for Legit. Texas. Barbecue.

 Back in Dallas, Texas Dickey’s opened its doors with a simple BBQ menu, at least compared to what we see today. Our first barbecue restaurant served brisket and ham sandwiches, with sides like fries or potato chips. Barbecue is not complete without a cold one, but there was also soda or even milk to go with your barbecue meal. Dickey’s became the local lunch spot that the community loved to come sit, eat, and hear a few jokes from the Pit Master himself, Mr. Dickey. A culture of service, great eats, and greets was created, driving the restaurant that we know today.

 There are not too many places where you can say you want all the smoke, bring the heat, and chop it up without being looked at a little funny. The secret to having a place like this, where people want to come and visit time and time again, is quite simple. At Dickey’s, we just take the food seriously not ourselves.

 **Imagine this**: Getting off after a long day at work, picking up the kids from school, and needing fast and [easy dinner ideas](https://orders-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/public/Dickey's_Barbecue_Pit_-_Menu_-_2022.pdf). Just head down to your local Dickey’s Barbecue Pit for the best BBQ in your city. Our slow smoked BBQ meats, savory sides, [original barbecue sauce](https://www.dickeys.com/press/blog/history-of-bbq-sauce), and finally our southern hospitality all together make any visit to our BBQ joint one for the books. We are here to give people a break from their jobs, responsibilities, and anything else that may be weighing on them.

 “When people ask about Dickey’s, I explain that we’re in the-food-and-the-folks business. We charge them for the barbecue, but the hospitality and tall tales are free of charge,” says Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Inc.

 There should be no hold up! Plan your visit to the barbecue restaurant near me to get your hands on the best BBQ in your city.
