July 13, 2018 // Franchising.com // Dallas, TX - The Dickey Foundation, formerly known as Barbecue, Boots and Badges, has expanded its mission in supporting first responders in communities across the nation.
This foundation sets out to provide financial opportunities, safety equipment and overall support for local first responders. Although its reach is national, the efforts are extremely local and supports several programs, including Invest in a Vest, Barbecue, Boots &amp; Badges and an unnamed program which will provide breathing equipment to firefighters.
This year, the Foundation provided ballistic vests to the Dallas Police Department and the Princeton Fire Department as well as feeding millions of folks that were affected by Hurricane Harvey in Houston. In addition, The Dickey Foundation hosted its inaugural benefit concert in May of 2018 which resulted in raising $100,000 for local first responders.
“The Dickey Foundation was created to support the brave men and women who risk their lives every day to ensure their communities safety,” says Maurine Dickey, Founder of The Dickey Foundation. “Our goal is to continuously give first responders and their families the necessary support to ensure their safety and success in the communities they serve.”

People who love Kansas City barbecue have more restaurant choices than ever before.
The latest count shows the metro has about 100 options, from food trucks to tiny joints tucked into strip malls to sit-down restaurants with double-sided fireplaces and hickory-smoked prime rib.
And more are coming.
The Kansas City area had more than 90 area barbecue establishments when The Star did a count back in 2000. That number dropped to around 75 in 2009 after the recessio
While most regions are known for one, maybe two, different cuts or proteins, Zagat recently said Kansas City has a bit of everything: pork, beef, chicken, lamb, mutton and, yes, even fish. But it is best known for two things: burnt ends and sauce.
Here’s an A-Z guide to what’s in the Kansas City area. To add to the list, send an email to jsmith@kcstar.com. (This list was last updated in February 2018)

Grubhub, an online and mobile food delivery service, has begun serving the York market.
The company, which was founded in 2004, services 1,600 cities across the United States and London with more than 80,000 restaurants registered for delivery.
The company connects diners with restaurants that supply their own drivers, or allows restaurants without their own delivery drivers to use Grubhub’s network of drivers, according to the company’s website.
Currently, Grubhub serves several areas of the county, from Springettsbury Township to West Manchester Township. Participating restaurants include Tropical Smoothie Café, Primo Hoagies, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit and several others.
Grubhub’s move into York is part of a nationwide expansion into 34 markets across 19 states.
“We’re thrilled to expand our delivery offering to these markets across the U.S., making quick progress on our plan to expand our delivery capabilities throughout the coming year,” said Stan Chia, chief operating officer for Grubhub, in a release. “These additional markets are part of our vision to connect more diners with even more of their favorite local restaurants across the country, and provide them with the widest selection of choice wherever they are.”
More information, including a full list of participating restaurants, can be found online at <a href="http://www.grubhub.com/" title="www.grubhub.com">www.grubhub.com</a>.&nbsp;

There’s no shortage of backyard barbecues firing up on weekends during the summertime. But when it comes to truly amazing smoked ribs, brisket, pulled pork and other mouthwatering meats, your best bet is one of the many barbecue joints around the region.
Because it’s no secret that barbecue is heating up on the dining scene. In fact, that type of cuisine increased about 8 percent from 2015 to 2017, according to Mintel Menu Insights, a database focused on foodservice research.
And it’s a trend that has definitely carried over to the Erie region, which has seen a handful of barbecue restaurants pop up in last few years. Now local foodies now have their pick of places offering high-quality meats — many of which are smoked in-house on location — and delicious sides.
 
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit
The other newest edition to Erie’s barbecue scene is Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, which opened at 3716 Liberty St. in April 2016. With more than 500 locations across the country, Dickey’s is the world’s largest barbecue franchise.
Meats are served by the pound and there’s no shortage of variety. Beyond the pulled pork and brisket staples, there are also unique offerings of jalapeño cheddar or Polish kielbasa.
When visiting, go for the “plate” option. Not only will get yourself one or two of the aforementioned meats, but also a generous helping of two sides — such as baked beans, macaroni and cheese or coleslaw — and a roll.
Details: Mondays through Sundays, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. 868-4227, <a href="https://www.dickeys.com/" title="www.dickeys.com">www.dickeys.com</a>.&nbsp;

Market Insider: Dickey's Barbecue Pit is Seeing Double this July

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit&nbsp;franchisees, Darryl Weaver and Brendan Powers, have taken barbecue on the road by opening Dickey’s food trucks to serve guests outside of their brick-and-mortar locations in Arizona and Delaware.
“At Dickey’s, we pride ourselves on each of our franchisees having an entrepreneurial spirit,” says Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “We truly love to see our franchisees taking advantage of new business trends especially when they allow us to serve our slow-smoked barbecue in new and innovative ways.”&nbsp;
For Darryl, this new business venture has provided him additional business and he has seen a difference in how customers interact with on-the-go barbecue. Instead of positioning at a specific store, Darryl takes his truck around Marana, Arizona to big venues and events. “Every time the truck goes out, I go out,” says Darryl. “I like to take it where I know there is a big crowd of people.” He created a limited menu that features easy, on-the-go food, like sandwiches and sliders.
Brendan was looking to break into a different market outside of his four walls. His food truck will expand his and Dickey’s footprint in Newark, Delaware and appeal to new guests that he would not typically have at his Dickey’s location. “I look forward to opening my food truck, so I can create new relationships with guests from different venues around the area,” said Brendan.
