Sometime in February a "scout" for Alton Brown came through our little town of less than 1,000 and stopped at our only real barbecue place, Prince Pit BBQ. The scout ordered some of Ricky Prince's barbecue and was given a business card to take with him.
Then, sometime last week, Ricky received a call from a man asking for 10 "plates," which he would come by later to pick up.
Well, pick up he did. Ricky found himself serving barbecue to the producer of Alton Brown's FoodNetwork program, Feasting on Asphalt, Alton Brown and a host of other folks. They came in on BMW motorcycles and a single SUV.
The producer told Ricky that when he tasted the barbecue he had in February, it was the best he'd ever had and suggested that Alton add this little western Kentucky barbecue joint to the list of places featured on the next season of the show.
Well, y'all. The date for the airing of the show hasn't been announced, but the new season begins on August 4. So, y'all, mark your calendars.
We're mighty proud of our barbecue in these here parts. As you might guess, the whole town is abuzz with excitement and anticipation of being put "on the map" Alton Brown-style!
