As the only female on the elected body of decision makers, Young shares insights and experiences from her council role

<hr>

                


 (Dallas, TX) The restaurant operations field tends to be a boys’ club often times, but Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Owner / Operator Gina Young defies gender stereotypes as the only female in an elected
 position. NFAAC, or National Franchisee Advertising Advisory Council, is Dickey’s elected council of six Owner/Operators who make system-wide decisions on everything from advertising strategy to
 limited time offers.


 Young started her barbecue career in 2012, when she opened her first Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Olympia, Washington. Previously a stay-at-home mom with no restaurant experience, Young benefitted from
 the extensive training support from day one. She hired her brother Rob Williams, a volunteer fire fighter, to be her general manager, and now has a very successful store.


 In 2015 Young was nominated for the position in NFAAC. Her region consists of every store on the West Coast, and every Owner/Operator casts a vote. She was elected by a landslide and began the
 position in September. “I feel right at home here, and it is empowering to know I am the only female on the board,” Young says. “I appreciate this opportunity to interact closely with the brand and
 help make decisions that impact the whole company, while representing fellow Owner/Operators.”


 As a NFAAC representative, Young’s responsibilities include championing the brand while advocating for the Owner/Operators whom she represents. The council works on cost and profit measures, menu
 changes and other brand initiatives. The biggest moment for Young, however, was the launch of the new generation prototype store in late 2015. Launched a month after she took the position, Young
 was able to travel to Dallas and get a personal tour of the new concept from CEO, Roland Dickey, Jr. 


 “Dickey’s relies heavily on NFAAC to represent the interests of our Owner/Operators and they are key in the brand’s decision making process,” says Roland Dickey, Jr. “Gina has been a huge asset to
 the NFAAC council, and we look forward to her knowledge and expertise continuing to impact the brand and overall success of our Owner/Operators.”

Dickey's Barbecue Pit Celebrates New Year with $1 Pulled Pork Sliders

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit introduces new asiago cheese cream spinach side and dessert specialties


  


 (Dallas, TX) Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is pleased to announce new nationwide menu rollouts including Asiago Creamed Spinach, the all-new Blondie Brownie and Chocolate Chunk Cookie and a new take on a
 Dickey’s classic, Southern Pecan Pie.


  The newest home-style side, created to complement Dickey’s signature slow-smoked Texas-style barbecue, is a delicious creamy blend of asiago cheese and
 spinach. After months of Dickey’s in-house R&amp;D Team perfecting the recipe and in-store testing, the side is now available at Dickey’s locations across the country.



  The Dickey’s signature dessert menu now includes sweet new additions such as the Blondie Brownie, a blend of
 roasted pecans and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a buttery cookie base. The all-new Chocolate Chunk Cookie is sure to satisfy the cravings of any cookie or chocolate connoisseur. After seeking
 guest feedback and numerous product tests, Dickey’s is pleased to offer an irresistible new pecan pie that combines a crisp and buttery pastry with a deliciously rich, sweet, dense and chewy
 filling and loaded with toasted pecans. “Our guests didn’t want a huge slice of pie, they wanted a smaller dessert to satisfy their sweet craving that’s very high quality but at a lower price
 point, so this is exactly what we created,” says Tamala Fowler, Vice President of Purchasing and R&amp;D.



 “It’s important to take feedback from our guests and Owner / Operators and make menu additions and tweaks as needed, so we are pleased to roll out delicious new
 quality menu items that pair perfectly with our authentic Texas-style barbecue,” says Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants,
 Inc.

Army Veteran Opens Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Starkville

Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. Smokes High-Quality Meats at Low Temperatures
(Dallas, TX) After the World Health Organization (WHO) recently announced the possible carcinogenicity of processed and red meats, Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. is addressing these concerns.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the WHO’s cancer research agency, has researched this question in depth since 2014. Their findings indicate that the risk of several types of cancers associated with eating red meat is relatively low. The study suggests that the risk increases with commercial processing methods and possibly when cooking at high temperatures.
Fortunately, at Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, all meats are smoked low and slow at just 145 degrees Fahrenheit. According to the WHO, this results in the production of fewer carcinogenic chemicals associated with heat. Additionally, Dickey’s does not use sodium nitrites or nitrates in the making of its sausage, the only commercially processed meat sold in the store. “There is a difference between commercially processing meat and what we do at Dickey’s,” says Nico Murillo, Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc.’s R&amp;D Chef. “Technically, salting and smoking meats could be considered processing, but the significant difference comes from the fact that they are manual processes performed in a kitchen, not commercial processing taking place in a plant.”
Red meat is extremely nutrient-dense, full of iron, zinc and other essential nutrients. According to SELF Nutrition Data, it is a complete protein which provides Omega-3 and Omega-6, amino acids that are deficient in many Americans’ diets. As for the cancer risks, the Harvard School of Public Health states, “When it comes to cancer, protein quality seems to matter more than quantity.”
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit prides itself on the high quality meats that are served to guests nationwide. The nation’s largest barbecue chain consistently researches and implements best practices to improve not only the guest experience, but ensure healthier and more sustainable ways to perfect the art of great barbecue. In addition to the removal of nitrites and nitrates, Dickey’s has begun using a proprietary wood blend pellet in smokers to maximize flavor while reducing environmental impact.
“With respect to the findings of the 22 scientists in Lyon, France, myself and millions of other Americans will continue to enjoy great barbecue,” said Roland Dickey, Jr. CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc.
