Fire-hit Marianna barbecue diner sets grand reopening

Today at 2:55 a.m.
A grand reopening event will be held at 11 a.m. July 14 at Jones Bar-B-Que Diner in Marianna.
The venerable Arkansas restaurant was closed for about three months after a fire in February destroyed the wooden barbecue pit structure and damaged the diner building, which was constructed in 1964.
James Harold Jones, 76, the owner and pitmaster, reopened Jones Bar-B-Que on May 20 after the diner was repaired and a new metal building was constructed out back around the barbecue pit.
Online fundraisers brought in more than $87,000 to help with the restoration and construction, and Southern Restaurants for Racial Justice provided a $25,000 emergency grant.

Smoke doesnât normally concern James Harold Jones. It was the flames he saw in the barbecue pit at Jonesâ Bar-B-Q Diner, his familyâs restaurant in Marianna, Ark., that made him worry on Sunday morning.
âI donât usually have no flame,â Mr. Jones said of his time-honored technique for cooking pork shoulders over low heat. âI have coals.â
