Mutton by Moonlite

The Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn of Owensboro, KY is famous for it's extensive buffet and its barbequed mutton. "We probably serve more mutton than any place in the United States," said Moonlite co-owner Ken Bosley. Davis County has a long tradition of barbequing mutton with church picnics serving up barbequed mutton almost every weekend during the summer. Bosley said he encourages customers at the Moonlite to try the mutton. "We tell them look, you're in the only place you'll be able to get mutton in the whole country. You oughta try it because that's something you can't get no where else. And we get a lot of converts," he added.
