Dickey handed out signed copies of his cookbook, “Mr. Dickey’s Barbecue Cookbook: Recipes from a True Texas Pit Master” to the first 50 customers Wednesday. Travis Dickey founded Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in 1941 and ran the restaurant until he died in 1967, at which point Roland Dickey left Southern Methodist University to take over the business. Roland Dickey, with his brother, T.D. Dickey, took the single barbecue stand his father had built and expanded throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area. In 1994, he sold the first franchise to the Smith family, who are currently franchisees. Roland Dickey Sr. published his cookbook in 2012 and now travels the country, visiting owner/operators and holding appreciation events and making special appearances on local radio and television shows. Tricia and Ron Burkett opened the Lebanon Dickey’s on Oct. 5 after seeing the success the restaurant had across the country. “I kept seeing these Dickey’s open, and their were lines out the door,” said Ron. “I found the food was good. I mean they really have good food.” Tricia held the door open for customers Wednesday as the line went all the way outside. There was even a group waiting before the store opened to be the first people inside. In its first week open, the Lebanon location set a franchise record with the most barbecue sales ever in a 1,500-square-foot store. According to Ron Burkett, the Lebanon restaurant was also close to breaking the record for any sized store. “We definitely feel like we made the right decision opening the store,” said Tricia Burkett. “There have been some hiccups, but we feel good about how we’ve done so far.”

A good meal brings people together.Now a local man takes his food service to disaster zones... With a new non–profit.Let's take a look at what's happening around Nebraska. He's lived in a community devastated by tornadoes. The desperation you see in their face when they've lost everything. In the midst of tragedy... A meal and an ice cream treat bring relief. And you're that first ray of sunshine they get to see. Dick Cochran has been in the food service business 35 years. He owns dickey's barbecue pit locations in Kearney and grand island. And worked for a major food distributor before that. Which brought him to Joplin, Missouri, living there when a catastrophic tornado hit.You never forget that. Never. And after you go through something like that, if it doesn't tug at your heart and make you want to help, i don't know what will. With that on his mind... And food in his background... He's launching hot meals u–s–a... A new non–profit that will deploy following disasters. Get on the ground quickly and get those folks some hot food in their stomachs so they can turn around and start to help themselves recover. He's raising money and recruiting corporate sponsors now... To outfit a 50 foot semi trailer with grills, ovens, coolers, even sinks. Once one of these things are built and we hit the ground, we're going to be able to deliver 10–15,000 meals a day and that's unheard of. Hot foods u–s–a will be staffed by food service professionals who understand how to feed a crowd safely. We do this every day. This is a group of server certified cooks and chefs. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be served. And he hasn't forgotten about dessert... After seeing kids smile with an ice cream in their hands. It's all about helping to start that recovery process.

ABC 8: Local Restaurant Owner Brings 'Hot Meals' to Disasters

Even if mini-diners stick to tater tots and chicken nuggets, those meals can add up. The Toledo family of Fresno restaurateurs know the challenges. They have fed generations of families since they started Toledo’s Mexican Restaurant 26 years ago. And they are experiencing it firsthand as their own family grows. “We know people love to go out to eat dinner. It’s a real treat. It’s a real experience. Also, it’s a little pricey sometimes,” said Carmen Toledo, restaurant sales manager, who has one son. “We know not everyone has disposable income, especially people who have multiple children.” In 2013, Toledo and her brothers, Jesse (who has five daughters) and Andrew, started a “kids eat free night” on Wednesdays. It was a way to help families still recovering from the recession, a way to help families who were on the go midweek, and a way to promote family time, Toledo said. One of many signs around the restaurant promoting the special kids-eat-free night on Wednesdays at Toledo’s Mexican Restaurant, Oct. 25, 2017 in Fresno. The Toledo family would traditionally gather for dinner together on Wednesdays, and in 2013 they began a new tradition of offering free kids dinners on Wednesdays to help families make ends meet. Wednesday has for years been the Toledo’s family dinner night. You might still see members of the family eating together at one of their four restaurants. Toledo’s isn’t the only restaurant offering bargains on kids’ meals. Here are four local restaurants and some national chains that have kids-eat-free or discount nights. 1. Antonio’s Mexican Restaurant. Kids 12 and under eat free between 3 and 9 p.m. Mondays with an adult entree. The Little Tony Special gives your child a choice of a taco, bean burrito, enchilada or cheese quesadilla, with rice, beans and a soda. Don’t like rice and beans? Get grilled cheese, a hamburger, corn dog or chicken strips with fries and a drink. Locations: 7959 N. Blackstone Ave., Fresno and 605 W. Herndon Ave., Clovis. 2. Ginza Asian Bistro. Kids 10 and under eat free Mondays through Thursdays at this Asian fusion restaurant. Mom and dad can dine on sushi while the kids eat lo mein noodles, chicken or shrimp tempura, sweet or sour pork, orange chicken or mixed veggies in brown sauce. Dishes are served with fries and pork dumplings. Location: 7845 N. Palm Ave., Fresno. 3. Sequoia Brewing Company. Families have about another month to take advantage of Sequoia’s kids-eat-free night. Little Loggers 11 and under eat free after 4 p.m. Tuesdays until Dec. 1. The kids menu includes a burger and fries, chicken strips, cheese quesadilla, grilled cheese, cheese pizza or rotelli with marinara sauce. Locations: 777 E. Olive Ave. and 1188 E. Champlain Drive, Fresno Carmen Toledo taps out an order for kids meals featuring the names of the family’s children on kids-eat-free night at Toledo’s Mexican Restaurant, Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2017, in Fresno. The Toledo family would traditionally gather for dinner together on Wednesdays, and in 2013 they began a new tradition of offering free kids dinners on Wednesdays to help families make ends meet. 4. Toledo’s Mexican Restaurant. Kids 10 and under eat free from 4 to 10 p.m. Wednesdays at all four locations. The kids plates were once named after Carmen, Jesse and Andrew Toledo, whose parents started the business. Now, the six meals are named for their children. Pick from a taco, quesadilla, enchilada or burrito plate with beans and rice. Danni’s Plate is a small bowl of the restaurant’s albondigas soup with rice and tortillas. No beans and rice lovers? Gabbi’s Plate has chicken fingers. Locations: 367 E. Shaw Ave., 7315 N. Blackstone Ave., 6737 N. Milburn Ave., all in Fresno, and 1125 Shaw Ave., Clovis. 5. National chains. We love our chains, and several in town have kids dine-in specials or free nights throughout the week. Here’s a list: Buffalo Wild Wings, 3065 E. Shaw Ave. and 3331 W. Shaw Ave. Kids 12 and under eat for $1.99 from 11 a.m. to close Wednesdays. Cafe Rio Mexican Grill, 242 East River Park Circle, Fresno. Kids get a free cheese quesadilla with purchase of adult entree. Denny’s, 30 E. Herndon Ave., 530 S. Clovis Ave., 1110 E. Shaw Ave., all in Fresno. Kids 12 and under eat free after 4 p.m. Tuesdays and Saturdays with an adult entree. Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, all locations. Kids 12 and under eat free Sundays with a $10 adult purchase. Firehouse Subs, 128 W. Nees Ave., Suite 101, Fresno. Kids eat free every day with purchase of medium sub combo. BoNhia Lee: 559-441-6495, @bonhialee

Owner Robert Dunning says one must-try dish is their finger-licking pulled pork sandwich. Dunning the says he keeps the sandwich simple, but the pork’s rich, hickory-smoke flavor is the real deal. He also says it’s important to put the time into barbecue to make sure it’s flavorful and tasteful. “Barbecue takes an art. You have to take time and effort to make it that good product,” Dunning said. Dickey’s Barbecue Pit still slow smokes all meats on-site at all three of his Dickey’s locations in Metairie, Harahan and Gretna. The menu features the classics like beef brisket, pulled pork, ribs, polish kielbasa sausage, jalapeno cheddar sausage, smoked turkey, and marinated chicken breast.&nbsp; The spot also offers a selection of homestyle sides from baked beans to macaroni and cheese.
