Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn in Owensboro, Kentucky
There has been growing interest in regional barbecue styles in the past couple of years. It is strange to see that mutton has not yet caught on. Kentucky locals must be curious as well since they have eaten at Moonlite in Owensboro. Over there, they got to enjoy an epic barbecue buffet, which works since it is always crowded. There are so many people eager to try the hickory-smoked meats that they cycle through on the regular. You will find chopped chicken, ribs, and pork on the buffet as well, but the star of the show is none other than the mutton. We can’t wait until the rest of the scene catches onto it.

Pappy’s Smokehouse in St. Louis, Missouri
Mike Emerson and friends impressed St. Louis with their Memphis-like barbecue joint that will blow away any Tennessee transplant. We are sure that any customer will nod in approval and ask for one more slab of ribs. A decade later, Emerson has stepped back from the daily business operations. Despite this, the customers still tear into the delicious ribs served up by Pappy’s Smokehouse. If you are in the mood to try something different, you should try the Frito pie to go with whichever protein you ordered.
