Laura Rea Dickey Successfully Takes Texas Barbecue International

Texas barbecue is a conversation starter for any barbecue lover or traveling foodie. What probably gets people excited about Texas barbecue is smoldering, peppery brisket and the types of meat utilized in Central Texas barbecue. After we give you the history of it, learn how Laura Rea Dickey Net Worth has taken over barbecue logistically. She has assisted with making Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants international.

This Texas style of barbecue has been prepared since the 1880s. During that era German and Czech immigrants moved into the area and opened butcher shops. They slow cooked the cow’s brisket over a low heat. This typically turned a tough cut of meat tender and helped with meat preservation.
