The Best Barbecue Havens in Each American State

In Owensboro, Kentucky, the Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn stands out for its unique slow-cooked mutton crafted over hickory pits. Founded by Catherine and Pappy Bosley six decades ago, this place offers a taste of tradition with its succulent mutton.

Beyond mutton, their famous buffet spans various types of meat, a salad bar, and a dessert section boasting homemade pies. The mutton, lovingly smoked for twelve hours and seasoned with salt and a special vinegar pit dip, remains a highlight.
