Texas BBQ Giveaway: Riscky's Barbeque's "Easy Meal Deal"

As I tweeted yesterday, we love the privilege of giving away Texas BBQ to our followers/readers. I'm so thankful for the generosity of the BBQ joints that donate items for us to give away. This past weekend alone, we held giveaways from Opie's (Spicewood), Pizzitola's (Houston), & Lockhart Smokehouse (Dallas); and we're so appreciative of each of these joints. Today, I announce a new giveaway. We've never held a giveaway for this BBQ joint, so we are very excited to do so now:

Riscky's Barbeque, a Fort Worth Stockyards joint that has been serving customers for 86 years, has donated to us their "Easy Meal Deal." Priced at $59.99, the "Easy Meal Deal" includes a half ham or turkey, cornbread stuffing, rolls, turkey gravy, BBQ sauce, & choice of 2 sides (potato salad, cole slaw, creamed spinach, sweet-potato casserole). A hearty way to ring in the holidays! To learn more about Riscky's, check them out online, on Facebook, & on Twitter. 

On Saturday, we'll hold a drawing for winner. So, you have through Friday to enter. There are 4 ways to enter. You are allowed to enter more than 1 way, so if you enter, say, all 4 ways, you get your name in the hat four times! Here are the 4 ways to enter:
