Marion Pit BBQ: Uncommonly Delicious, Any Way You Slice It

September 27, 2013 by Joi Sigers Leave a Comment

Marion Pit BBQ Pork and Sauce

Marion Pit Bar-B-Que is the name, insanely delicious BBQ is the game.  Whenever Michael is in the vicinity of Marion, Kentucky, he makes a point of swinging by Marion Pit Bar-B-Que – whether it’s for a BBQ Pork Sandwich with Coleslaw (on the sandwich, mind you, not beside it) or for a pile of it to bring home for sandwiches or tacos, his car is incapable of driving PAST Marion Pit BBQ.

It must stop. Every time.

He recently brought home some pulled BBQ Pork and sauce (delicious sauce, too!) for supper.  I, personally, ate mine on a bun with pickle and onion but Michael wanted his in a quesadilla – he’s fancy, like that.  I added chopped green pepper, chopped red pepper, onion, and cheese to his pork and made him a quesadilla that left him smiling for hours.

I’ve also used this delicious pork in tacos before.

No matter what you do with it, it’s excellent.

Marion Pit Bar-B-Que is located at 728 South Main Street in Marion, Kentucky. The next time you’re even remotely in the area, you HAVE to swing by and grab some BBQ for the road. You’ll be SO glad you did.
