Barbecue Heaven Is For Real And It S In Kentucky

All that bad barbecue I wrote about last week put me in a coma. But I did see a bright shining light while I was out, and heard a pleasant southern drawl beckoning me toward it. Suddenly I found myself in heaven or, rather, beautiful southwestern Kentucky, where the angels took pity and told me of a magical pit on a hill out in the country. It’s the best barbecue around, they sang. Nobody does it like that anymore. My spirit guide gave me directions to Knockum Hill BBQ, in Herndon, Kentucky. “I wouldn’t send anybody for barbecue that only had a lick and a promise of smoke,” she told me.
