I have been told that there were around 40,000 votes sent in. We have been slow-cooking barbecue over a hickory log fire for over three generations, but you are only as good as your last meal,&#8221; said Patrick Bosley, Manager of the Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn. &#8220;We are most famous for barbecued mutton. Not many people are aware of how good mutton barbecue is, that is, until they come to the Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn and try their first bite!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Mutton puts Owensboro barbecue in a class by itself,&#8221; said Gourmet Magazine. &#8220;Cooked until pot-roast tender, it is set out on the Moonlite buffet two ways: chopped or pulled&#8230; The chopped mutton is nothing but flavor: tangy lamb and wood smoke in a bold hash duet. 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> 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. Moonlite Bar-B-Q has been featured in Gourmet Magazine, Southern Living, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, and on the Food Channel.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;It&#8217;s the people that make it all come together,&#8221; said Patrick Bosley. &#8220;Treat your customers like friends and family&#8230;add a pinch of luck and a lot of family, mix &#8217;em together and get out of the way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> For more information or to shop Moonlite&#8217;s online store, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moonlite.com\" target=\"_new\">www.moonlite.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> All trademarks are property of their respective owners.<\/p>\n<p>News issued by: Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/08-1107-MoonliteBBQ_72dpi.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn\"\/><\/p>\n<p><small>Original Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/08-1107-MoonliteBBQ_72dpi.jpg\" class=\"autohyperlink\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/08-1107-MoonliteBBQ_72dpi.jpg<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<p> # # # <\/p>\n<p><small>Original Story ID:  (4461) :: 2008-11-1107-003<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>Original Keywords: Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn, Kentucky&#8217;s Best Barbecue, Patrick Bosley cookbook, Family Favorites from Moonlite, Recipes that Founded a Kentucky Tradition, ISBN 097668960X, Pappy and Catherine Bosley, roadside stand, dinner restaurant, award winning mutton barbecue, BBQ Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn Owensboro Kentucky <\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OWENSBORO, Ky.
