Most of the barbecue found in this part of the country is slow cooked over a log fire in custom built pits. What distinguishes our barbecue from the barbecue in the rest of the country? It is the local popularity of barbecued mutton, which is female sheep, and our unique cooking methods. It is hard to find anywhere else other than Western KY. All the barbecue restaurants listed offer several different types of barbecue - and don’t forget to try the burgoo!
