"Started by Russ Fiorella in Kansas City back in 1957, Jack Stack began as a traditional storefront barbecue with a modest selection of five to six items. Jack Fiorella, the eldest son, worked with his father until 1974, when he decided to branch off and start Fiorella's Jack Stack of Martin City," as stated on their website.
It all started with their method of cooking meats over hickory wood. At the time in the 1970s, they had the most extensive menu in the nation. Everything from certified Angus beef to lamb ribs was available at this Kansas City Barbecue, beating out other barbecue restaurants with their huge sampler menu.
Today, this Kansas City BBQ has evolved into a full-service wood cookery, and offers catering, delivery, and excellent barbecue sauce around the nation.
