Sadly, I have a lot of friends who once lived in Owensboro, but have moved away to bigger cities like Nashville, Louisville, and even all the way on the West Coast. The very first stop these friends often make on trips back home is to get some good ole Owensboro Bar-B-Q.

Meat or a Million Dollars?

In fact, the last time we invited a former Owensboroan to our house, we made sure we had some mutton and burgoo for him. He gave us huge hugs and the way he went on and on, you would have thought we had given him a million dollars. Nope! Just meat!

Well, not JUST meat. Special smoked goodness that I often take for granted is right in my backyard. If you have a family member or friend who is from Daviess County and they miss the best sliced pork this side of the Mississippi, did you know you can ship it right to their door?

Moonlite BBQ Ships

I can't believe I've lived here all my life and didn't know until now that the world-famous Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn ships its products all over the United States. Everything from Hickory chips and delicious dips, so you can fire up the smoker on your own or enjoy real deal Moonlite favorites like burgoo or brisket.

They'll even ship a turkey to someone for Thanksgiving or a gift basket for Christmas. All food is packaged with dry ice to stay safe in transit. So, if you can't make "down on Parrish Ave." to try Moonlite BBQ, all you have to do is put your postman to work and place your order online.
