Submitted by: Dickey’s Barbecue

Roland Dickey, Sr., the chairman of the world’s largest barbecue franchise, likes to entertain and tell a good story.  In his first book signing event in San Jose, he will get to do plenty of both.  On Sunday November 4, Dickey will be autographing copies of “Mr. Dickey’s Barbecue Cookbook.” at the Towne Center Books on Main Street from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.  Mr. Dickey will be giving a short talk and also offering samples of his popular, “Idiot Sticks” recipe.

 “It’s astounding how much growth I’ve seen in this company,” said Roland Dickey, Sr., author and chairman of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc.  “My father started Dickeys as a beer joint with a little barbecue and now we’re a truly recognizable brand.  My cookbook provides a little history on our roots that have now grown across the country.”

The cookbook, which will be available for Mr. Dickey to sign at the event, showcases more than 100 recipes and entertaining anecdotes, including many Dickey family recipes, personal photographs, along with mouthwatering photography of the dishes that showcases the classic and crowd-pleasing recipes.

“I’m so proud of my dad’s book and where this company started,” said Roland Dickey, Jr.  “It’s just amazing to look at the pictures of my grandfather in front of the first store and realize the legacy he started for our family and the many families who now work with us – it’s a great American success story.”
