Led by pitmaster Ken Bosley, Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn, from Owensboro, Kentucky, served up BBQ Mutton & Burgoo. Moonlite has been a Kentucky tradition since 1963 when Catherine and Pappy Bosley bought the 14-year old barbecue joint, the Moonlite.
Barbecued Mutton, pit-roasted sheep, has been popular in Owensboro since the Welsh settled Daviess County with their sheep herds. Owensboro’s burgoo is a hearty soup made from mutton, chicken, and a variety of vegetables. One tradition says it came from Wales and found its way to the frontier through Virginia, evolving very similar to Brunswick Stew. In the early 1800's, burgoo developed as a squirrel stew and was served at political rallies and church picnics. Around Kentucky, burgoo varies with different meats, but always the same consistency--thick and soupy.

I was reading about a BBQ joint in South Plainfield, New Jersey Named Boss Hog Barbecue that I hadn’t visited. It’s a 34 mile drive each way, but most of it is on the Garden State Parkway (70 mph). I arrived at a small place with two large “family style” tables and barstools in front of the cutting stations. Ribs aren’t normally my thing because they are usually wet and sloppy. However they had “Memphis style” dry rubbed ribs so I ordered the 1/4 lb. brisket & 1/4 rack of ribs platter with Southern green beens and coleslaw. I would testify in court that the brisket and ribs were just as good as 90 percent of the BBQ I’ve had in Texas. The brisket was perfection. It had been smoked in a real outdoor offset smoker using a mix of three different types of wood. Apparently the offset smoker was welded together by a genuine redneck in Georgia. (Yes, I know “redneck” and “Georgia” are redundant). The bark was excellent, the meat was moist (SO MOIST!) and it was firm enough to stay in one piece, but not so firm that you couldn’t cut it with the side of a fork. The combination of the three woods gave it a really nice flavor. I could see all of the delicious juices run out when they were slicing it on the carving block. The ribs were exactly how I like them. Just firm enough to stay on the bone, but “al dente”. They were not chewy and the meat easily came off. The coleslaw was excellent and the Southern green beans were, most likely, the best I’ve ever had. They were flavorful and had a sizable quantity of chunks of meat mixed in. I believe there was some onion in there as well. All of their sauces were hand made. I tried the Alabama white because I’d never had that type before. It was delicious. But, to be honest, that BBQ brisket and those ribs would have been just fine with no sauce. The owner/pitmaster is originally from Upstate New York (Watertown) and shows up before sunrise to fire up the smoker for the day’s selection of meats. I don’t know how it happened, but somehow, three pounds of delicious smoked brisket fell into a bag for me to take home. I couldn’t allow myself to smell it while I was driving, so I put it in the trunk with Little Texas Aggie Bear to protect it.
So, your reputation as the neighborhood pitmaster is drawing a crowd? The Wichita may well be your answer; with the addition of the firebox grill grate and the top slide out shelf the Wichita boasts 1,700-square inches of cooking surface on which to create smoked, barbecued and grilled masterpieces for all of your friends and family to enjoy. No matter if you are cooking for friends, fundraisers or competition the Wichita, built to your specifications, i s certain to please the most demanding crowd.

The Pitmaster Combo at Hill Country BBQ Market - one of my fave BBQ spots in NYC (along with Daisy Mae's, Dinosaur BBQ and Virgil's).
The combo contains 1/4 chicken, 1 beef rib, 1 pork rib, lean brisket, white bread + 2 sides. I added on a ring of Kreuz sausage (imported from TX).
You know it's great BBQ when it (almost) doesn't need sauce. I'll still add it, but this meat is so flavorful that I don't have to.
