Originally from Mexico City, Emmanuel Herrera worked for the largest spirits company in the world for 10 years. Through his travels with that company, he eventually moved to the United States and traveled to San Antonio frequently for vacations. When he decided to become an entrepreneur, Herrera knew that San Antonio was the right place for him to begin his new life. "My experience is with hand-crafted spirits, so the artisanal quality of barbecue attracted me immediately," Herrera says. "I love slow smoking meat and I am very excited to serve great barbecue to my adopted community. Dickey's is more than just barbecue, it is all about great times with friends and family."
