Bad Bobs has the best potato salad EVER

Yep. Not even close.

Hardware Cafe has a BBQ bake potato that is very good.

 

Today, I had a BBQ quesadilla and it was very good.

Just got back and ate Moonlite, Starnes and Backwoods. Good stuff all around. Wish I had time to try more. Does anyone know the history of BBQ in Western Ky? Why is that part of the country so good at it?

You need to come down to BBQ on the river in Paducah.

I'll tell you something I was confused by though- I couldn't figure out if it was d Starnes or Starnes I was supposed to go to. Ended up going to Starnes, but it wasn't easy.

I never heard of "d Starnes"? If you were across from Dairy Queen, you were in the right spot! Sept 22-24 is BBQ on the river in Paducah, best weekend of the year!

In Owensboro I actually like Old Hickory better then Moonlight for the actual Bar-B-Q. But for everything else you have to go to Moonlight. If you can go in there and not come out with your pants unbuttoned you did something wrong. They have a fantastic buffet.

 

In Henderson Thomasons is a must. The best mutton and bar-b-q beans anywhere. J&B's is also really good.

 

When we came up to film Greenwood at Henderson County in 2009, we stopped at Moonlite. I literally got sick I ate so much. I thought I'd never make it up the steps in that press box!

It's downtown on Broadway near the river. I asked around and found out that d Starnes isn't related, but the bbq is provided to them by Starnes. It was really confusing. I ate at Starnes, with the sea foam green building and lunch counter style seating.
