Jack's by the Tracks

Jack Easley has been serving barbecue by the old railroad tracks in Marion for years. It's no wonder that every now and then some writer or publisher recognizes Marion Pit BBQ's special flavor.

Such was the case recently when author David Gelin stopped by Jack's to do some research for his latest book, BBQ Joints, available at Amazon.Com.

According to Judy Easley, Jack's wife and the real master behind the barbecue business, has told us that the author tried to get Jack's special recipe. Well, Jack gave him one, but it wasn't the real secret sauce formula that has made Jack's by the Tracks a hit in Marion for about three decades.
