In Which a Nationally Televised Mention of a Particular Kentucky Restaurant Makes Me Sound Like Religion Coverage on ESPN
12:18 AMSo there I am, minding my own late-night business*, and out of nowhere some political writer for The Nation, guesting on The Colbert Report, mentions Moonlite Bar-B-Q in Owensboro, Ky.
Holy cow. My mouth started watering instantly.
I should leave this to Owensboro native Dewayne, but for those not in the barbecue know, Owensboro claims its 'cue is best (though, of course, the folks there would never call it "'cue."). And in Owensboro, Moonlite is king. Before I lived in Owensboro, I didn't care much about barbecue, but Moonlite changed all that. The very first time I had the chopped mutton sandwich, and chased it with chocolate cream pie, it was the road to Damascus, baby. Conversion City.
Lately, I found a decent Memphis-style barbecue place here in San Fran, Big Nate's, and it put a little caulk in a West Coast culinary void I had learned to overlook. Especially since the place delivers. It's good, but it's not mutton, and it's not Moonlite. Nothing is. Take it from a couple of liberals.
Well, don't take it from me, 'cause I might stick a fork in your hand.
