There is a new blog in town. If you are like me and you like Chipotle, then The Smoky Chipotle is someplace you will want to visit and bookmark.  Ron who also runs The Last Bite Gourmet Food Blog knows his food and sauces.  In fact when it comes to sauces I doubt there are many people who know more than Ron.   Take a few minutes and visit The Smoky Chipotle and enjoy.

 WOW… what can I say about Moonlite Bar-B-Q in Owensboro, KY but FANTASTIC.  If you are looking for traditional Kentucky style barbecue there is no better place than Moonlite.  Moonlite has been a fixture in Owensboro, Kentucky for more than 40 years and is the standard by which Kentucky style bbq is measured. Did I mention that unlike most barbecue restaruants Moonlite has a buffet? Talk about overeating!!  The buffet includes pulled pork, pork ribs, mutton (a definite Kentucky specialty) and beef.  The meat is tender, juicy and above all great tasting. There are no sauces and rubs added and the taste of the meat stands on it’s own. Of course Moonlite has there own specialty sauces that you can add including a hot bbq sauce that is out of this world. In addition to the meat there are traditional extras like green beans, corn, macaroni and cheese (yum yum - not that boxed crap either), mashed potatoes, baked beans, white beans, cornbread and rolls. It is no wonder us Kentuckians have a weight problem.  Moonite is also famous for another traditional bbq treat in addition to mutton and that is burgoo. The burgoo is steaming hot and full of flavor. For more info on Burgoo click here.

Moonlite Bar-B-Q is located in Owensboro KY which is along the Ohio river. The nearest Interstates are about 50 miles away with I64 to the north in Indiana and I65 to the east from Elizabethtown KY to Bowling Green KY. The Western KY Parkway also go within about 35 miles of Owensboro.  There are a lot of great bbq restaraunts in Kentucky, but Moonlite is one that you definitely need to stop at and eat. When you visit be sure to tell Pat Bosley (what a great fellow…..  this man knows barbecue and he knows how to run a top notch restaurant) that BBQHub.com told you to stop in eat.

Been a while since I road tripped to Owensboro KY for some Moonlite BBQ.  Moonlite is home to Kentucky barbecue and that means mutton, pulled pork, ribs and burgoo.  I plan on taking some pics to post here and if it is like other visits it will be fantastic.  I should stop and pick up some Rolaids before I go……… I always overeat and wind up feeling somewhat miserable when it’s all over.

I love Moonlite BBQ………….
