You have not experienced Owensboro untilyou try the world famous barbecue!

Barbecued mutton is Owensboro, Daviess County’s claim to fame with more being consumed per personin this county than any other place in the world. As far back as the 1830’s, churches in Daviess Countywere having barbecues and because farmers raised a lot of sheep, mutton was the primary meat tobe cooked. This rich and zesty meat is only available in a few locations and Owensboro is the bestknown. It is still cooked in the traditional manner, with large pieces of mutton (adult sheep) cookedfor 12 hours over hickory fires while being mopped several times during the process with a mixture ofwater, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper and maybe a few secret ingredients!

What about burgoo?Burgoo is a spicy stew, similar to Irish or Mulligan stew, often served with cornbread or corn muffins.Owensboro barbecue restaurants use a specific meat in their recipes, usually pork or mutton, which,along with the spices used, creates a distinct flavor unique to each restaurant. While burgoo inOwensboro is generally associated with special events, such as church picnics and BBQ competitions, itis sold year-round in locally owned BBQ restaurants.
