Kentucky Burgoo
With the Kentucky Derby this weekend, I thought I’d introduce you to Kentucky Burgoo. So here’s a link to a story about Burgoo.
What’s Burgoo you say? Well it’s “the 150-year-old burgoo tradition in her hometown of Owensboro, Ky. There, men gather all night to grill on an epic level — mutton, chicken and a cut of pork they call Boston butt — to prepare burgoo for parish picnics that serve thousands and raise funds for their church communities.”
Take a look at this great article from NPR all about the mysterious stew.

I’ve not had a good Burgoo for years! If it’s made right it’s an awesome meal and even better as a leftover!
