OWENSBORO, Ky., April 12 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Moonlite Bar-B-Q has done it again. For the second year in a row, Kentucky Living Magazine readers voted and made their voices heard – Moonlite has the best barbecue in Kentucky<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In March, Kentucky Living staff asked its readers to send in their votes for 18 of Kentucky’s “Best Ofs” – from fishing spots and antique shops to barbecue joints. There were many great choices in all categories, but only a few prevailed. <\/p>\n

Family-owned Moonlite Bar-B-Q is well-known all around Kentucky for its barbecue mutton and ribs, burgoo (a spicy stew) and country ham. <\/p>\n

“It’s the ‘family touch’ that makes it so good,” says Patrick Bosley, manager of Moonlite Bar-B-Q. “We’re on our fourth generation of family working here. Barbecue is nothing but hard work. For example, it takes 12 hours to cook mutton. That attention to detail, coupled with a great atmosphere make for a memorable experience.” <\/p>\n

Bosley believes that it’s not just about the food – the atmosphere and how people are treated also count. <\/p>\n

“We treat our customers like friends and family,” he adds. “We’re lucky to bring it all to the table.”<\/p>\n

And, although family owned and operated, Moonlite Bar-B-Q has 140 employees. It has a USDA-processing facility from which they sell wholesale barbecue to other restaurants and stores; it has a catering service that can cater anywhere in the U.S.; and there is also an online mail order service for multiple products including brisket, sauces, ribs and more.<\/p>\n

“Our newest product was created due to popular demand,” adds Bosley. “It’s called ‘Moondust’ and is a barbecue rub that has no MSG or salt. It’s on the spicy side with a base of smoked paprika.” <\/p>\n

Moonlite Bar-B-Q’s motto is: “When only the best will do…Moonlite Bar-B-Q.” Well, it appears that this motto has been put to the test and they delivered.<\/p>\n
