Dickey’s Barbecue Pit wants to help you elevate your week night dinner menu with a true Texas favorite, Brisket Chili – in celebration of National Chili Day on Thursday, February 24. 

We’re inviting chili enthusiasts, barbecue lovers and newbies alike to cozy up with Dickey’s chili-centric sides, toppers and entrées with a fun spin on our traditional recipes that you can make in the comfort of your own home. (Unfortunately some of Dickey’s recipes are TOP secret, but we promise you’ll be sure to enjoy these!)

Below you will find one-of-a-kind recipes that your loved ones and guests won’t soon forget.
**Brisket Chili (slow-smoked brisket in chili with beans):**
- [How to smoke a brisket](https://barbecueathome.com/blogs/pit-masters-blog/how-to-smoke-brisket) – you’ll want to smoke meat ahead of time. 
- Sauté 1 large onion and 1 medium green bell pepper in olive oil in a large Dutch oven. Add 1 clove of garlic and continue to sauté for 1-2 minutes.
- Add remaining ingredients (2 lbs. cubed smoked brisket, (1) 46 fl. oz. can tomato sauce, (1) 28 oz. can diced tomatoes, (1) 15 oz. can black beans) and cook for at least 30 minutes or more. Add additional salt, pepper, and seasonings to taste. 
- Once brisket chili is hot, serve immediately with your favorite toppings. We recommend shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped green onions. 


**Brisket Chili Walking Taco (Brisket Chili served on top of Fritos with your choice of toppings):**
- Prepare toppings such as: brisket chili, queso, lettuce, sour cream, onion, shredded cheese or tomato. 
- Make sure to have one bag of single serve bagged Fritos for every person. 
- Cut open the bag of Fritos down the side.
- Spoon the brisket chili inside and top with your favorite toppings – it is that easy and such a fun meal!

**Brisket Chili Baker (Baked potato topped with Brisket Chili):**
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Poke holes in potatoes using a fork or sharp knife. 
- Rub the potatoes all over with the avocado oil and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for an hour until they’re soft when pressed. 
- Remove from oven and let the potatoes rest. Keep the oven on, you’ll use it again!
- Cut a slit down the middle of the potatoes and gently squeeze the ends together to open up the potatoes to create space to fill them.
- Spoon the brisket chili into the potatoes. Top with the shredded cheddar cheese and place the potatoes back on the baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Remove and top with your favorite toppings like sour cream or cilantro.  

**Brisket Chili Mac (Mac and Cheese topped with Brisket Chili):**
- For mac and cheese, buy large or jumbo size elbow noodles. Cook the desired amount of pasta in salted water per heating instructions. 
- In separate pan, add desired type/s of cheese (sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, and/or provolone), combined with 1 tbsp. of butter and a splash of milk. Add in cooked noodles. 
- Whisk mixture continuously, so it doesn’t burn or stick to bottom of the pan.
- Load noodle/cheese mixture into baking dish. Spoon in pre-cooked brisket chili, and sprinkle panko bread crumbs evenly on top. 
- Place in 400°F pre-heated oven for 5 minutes – and voilà!

Feast in a Simple Way with Dickey’s Barbecue Pit

“Even though we’re 80 years old, we act like a startup”

Suzanne Blake, QRS author of 21 Restaurant Brands Celebrating Milestones, spoke with CEOs Rolland Dickey Jr. and Laura Rea Dickey about their continued success in the Barbecue Business. Celebrating 80 years in business this year, the Dickey’s equate their success to a start up mentality. Despite being a legacy brand, Dickey’s has really leaned into technology to adapt. By embracing the convenience of digital ordering, third-party delivery, and catering, Dickey’s Barbecue has been able to withstand the years and has strived through the pandemic. 
2020 brought with it, several challenges for businesses. Fortunately, Dickey’s Barbecue locations had already been ideally set up for success to survive some pandemic struggles with its limited contact approach as it was. This, in addition to the many adjustments made by the company led to a positive year-over-year trend since May of 2020, a feat wildly juxtaposed to other businesses in the industry. 
When Travis Dickey opened Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Dallas in 1941, he probably didn’t think that his single location, once a house turned bar, would have grown into the global franchising empire it has become. With 600 stores operating in 46 states and developing in 36 countries, Dickey’s Barbecue is the largest BBQ chain in the country and continues to grow. 
The “evolve-or-fail” mentality adopted by the Dickey’s has been a self-proclaimed, main contributor to their success, evident in the company’s continued growth. Rolland Dickey Jr. says, “We’ve always been about taking care of the guest because the original store that we keep going back to, actually before it was a beer joint when my grandfather got it, it was a house, and you don’t have a customer in a house, you have a guest”. With this mindset, the growing restaurant franchise has never lost sight of its neighborhood feel.

## Everything You Need to Know about Texas Toast
While none may know the true inventors or origins, [Texas toast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_toast) is a beloved snack and side that has adorned many a plate of barbequed goodies since the late 1940s.

Texas toast is simply thick-cut toasted bread sliced at double the normal thickness. It’s prepared by lathering butter on both sides and then grilling until both sides are golden brown. Cheese and garlic are often added to serve Texas toast bread and it is regarded as one of the main comfort foods of choice for many native Texans.

Order up this amazing side along with your favorite BBQ food!

## The Contested History of Texas Toast
One possible inventor of Texas toast claims to be Kirby’s Pig Stand in Denton, Texas. Also claiming to be the original home of the onion ring, Kirby’s Pig Stand claims that they invented it when they received an order from a bakery of toast that was deemed too thick to cook. So the resident cook, Wiley W. W. Cross suggested layering them with butter and grilling them instead.

Another claimant to the Texas toast throne is a different Pig Stand location from Beaumont, Texas where the cook there claims to have created the signature side rather than W.W. Cross.

Either way, one thing that is certain is that the only state claiming to have invented the toast is the very namesake from which the toast arises.

## What Kind of Bread is Texas Toast?
Texas toast is most often made from packaged bread, although nowadays it can also be bought pre-buttered from your local supermarket. Possessing the characteristic extra thickness, the thicker slices lend themselves to be used in grilled cheese sandwiches or chicken fried steak sandwiches.

![Texas French Toast.png](https://cms-www-dickeys-com.s3.amazonaws.com/Texas_French_Toast_4d4d9356aa.png)

## What is Texas French Toast?
Quite simply, Texas French toast is exactly what it sounds like, French toast that has been made using the extra thick slices endemic to Texas toast.

Since the cut of bread is so thick, it allows for greater absorption of the egg and cream mixture and longer frying times. All of this contributes to a denser, crisper and more flavorful twist on the French toast recipe.

Heating Instructions For Your Holiday Meals

At Dickey’s, we are a purpose-driven business. We start every morning off with a company-wide charge call, and state our purpose - “at Dickey’s, we are here to serve competition quality barbecue to as many folks as we can. We are here to expand the family. We here to do both well and good in the communities in which we do business.”
Being purpose-driven has absolutely contributed to our success as a brand and a business. We use our purpose as a measuring stick for every initiative we undertake and the business decisions we make. &nbsp;Our purpose is also what compels me to write this post. I believe in the power of private industry to better communities. I believe that restaurants are a third space for folks to gather. I believe by breaking bread together you can find unity. &nbsp;
We must be aware, respectful, and conscientious of current events as a business and a brand. We must also not commercialize current events, the tragic death of George Floyd, the current protests, or the calls for change. I also do not want to send a message of silence as complacent acceptance for any form of racism, inequality, or injustice. So I will say this.
At Dickey’s, we believe in bringing people and communities together through the power of breaking bread. Breaking bread is both symbolically and literally an act of unity and healing. We take that seriously. Unfortunately, right outside of our dining rooms in streets across America, there is pain and frustration, dividing a country founded on the noble and unifying beliefs of liberty and justice for all.
May we use our dinner tables as a place to come together. May we encourage healing, justice, and kindness as we serve our neighborhoods and communities with full hearts. In this way, Dickey's shall forever remain a place for communities to break bread together. This is my prayer for us all. Please pray it with me.&nbsp;
We are pausing our organic efforts on social media to respectfully give the space for a more important conversation to take place. May this conversation lead us to justice, compassion, and inclusion. You are welcome at our table. We love the communities in which we have the privilege to do business and serve guests. We encourage you to love your neighbor.&nbsp;
 
Sincerely,
Laura Rea Dickey
