K-Town Krack with Boo Jackson

Spicing up Knoxville | ‘K-Town Krack’ seasonings show up in more stores

A former professional basketball player moved to Knoxville around 10 years ago and turned his passion for making food seasonings into a business.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Around 10 years ago, people who stopped by a barbershop in Knoxville also had the chance to pick up something special — a bottle of ‘K-Town Krack’ seasoning.

The spice blend was created by Boo Jackson, who moved to Knoxville after playing basketball professionally.

Knoxville Style Dry Rubbed Wings

What food is your city or town known for?

– Memphis has Memphis style dry ribs (dry-rubbed, not dry meat)

– St Louis has pork steaks

– New Orleans has beignets

If Knoxville has a food style like this, I think it might be the naked or dry-rubbed wing. When I think of wings in town, the first ones that come to mind are Big Kahuna Wings. They have been doing dry-rubbed wings since the early 90s. There is also Dead End BBQ with their Naked Wings, KTown Tavern’s Jumbo Ole Smokey Naked Wings, and Sweet P’s Downtown Dive’s has wings tossed in Soul Rub. These all have a few things in common.
