The pulled version is a textural amusement park&#8230; juicy chunks so supple they make us want to abandon all utensils and eat like happy cave dwellers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> For those who can&#8217;t make the trip in person, Moonlite has an online store where you can buy Moonlite Bar-B-Q&#8217;s award winning mutton barbecue, and other Moonlite Bar-B-Q family favorites. <\/p>\n<p> Patrick Bosley&#8217;s cookbook &#8220;Family Favorites from Moonlite: Recipes that Founded a Kentucky Tradition&#8221; ($18.95 ISBN: 097668960X) includes recipes for such Moonlite family favorites as their famous barbecue mutton dip, hearty burgoo soup, and banana pudding, is also available in Moonlite&#8217;s online store.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/mediaboom\/MoonBBQ1_72dpi.jpg\"><br \/> *(Caption: The Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn.)<\/p>\n<p> Patrick Bosley is the youngest grandson of Pappy and Catherine Bosley, who built the Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn into a Kentucky Tradition, from a 30 seat roadside stand to a 350 seat award winning, world renowned dinner destination.
