Dickey’s tweeners
The Dickey’s Barbecue chain introduced three new packaged meals this spring for customers looking for an easy way to handle graduation party guests or contribute to the spread at a family reunion. The Family Packs fall in size between full-scale catering orders and a garden-variety takeout order for a group.
The packs come in three sizes: the Picnic Pack, intended for two to four people, with a pound of meat, two sides and four rolls; the Family Pack, with two one-pound servings of meat, three sides and six rolls, for four to six people; and the XL Family Pack, with three one-pound servings of meat, four sides and eight rolls, or what Dickey’s says is enough food for six to eight people.
