National BBQ Spareribs Day with Dickey’s Barbecue Pit

Today July 4th is also National BBQ Spareribs Day.

These are barbecue pork spareribs from Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. Dickey’s opened its first location in Dallas, Texas, in 1941. More than eighty years later, the company has grown to more than 380 locations around the world. The original location was a bar where Travis Dickey sold barbecue from a pit he built in the back. Today, Dickey’s still smokes its meats on site over hickory wood burning pits.

These ribs are one of my favorite fast food photographs. I don’t photograph barbecue very often, so National BBQ Spareribs Day seemed like a good reason to bring this image back out of the archive.

Thank You!
