Dotted along backroads and rolling hills that snake throughout Western Kentucky is a little-known culinary passage known as the BBQ Belt. It’s here where dozens of blink-and-you-might-miss-’em gems of the meat and molasses variety hide in plain sight.
Our BBQ joints are locally owned by families and friends that have been perfecting and protecting their craft for generations with meats that are slow-cooked over hickory for hours on end, then finished with a variety of sauces that range from tangy and vinegar-based to sweet and molasses-infused.
Carolina. Texas. KC. Memphis. We love ’em all. But we ain’t them and they ain’t us. We’re Western Kentucky. And since we kept this secret close to our smoker all these years, we figured it’s time to share.
Low, slow, and oh-so Kentucky.
