Momma’s Mustard Pickles & BBQ, Louisville, KY

I spent yesterday and today in Louisville, Kentucky, with several friends (more on that in subsequent posts on this blog). Our first stop (actually where we met up to begin our whirlwind time together) was Momma’s Mustard Pickles & BBQ. No, seriously, that's what it's called. And there's a great story behind it. It starts with a horse. Literally. The owner took the winnings from a small share of a Derby horse and bought a food truck and a smoker. One thing led to another, and now, while there is still a food truck, there are also two restaurant locations in Louisville. We ate at the Bauer Avenue location.

The brisket could have been more moist for my taste, and boy was the potato salad mustardy. But that's to be expected from a place called Momma’s Mustard Pickles & BBQ. We also shared an appetizer of fried sweet pickles, which were great. And our server, Alana, was just wonderful. I hope the other guys tipped her well.

Momma’s Mustard Pickles & BBQ can be found at two locations in Louisville: 102 Bauer Avenue and 119 South Hurstborne Parkway.
