Red Barn Kitchen is throwing down on a massive whole hog this Thursday, December 22, for a special event for barbecue enthusiasts.
“This baby is pushing 300 pounds,” said Executive Chef Reed Johnson. Johnson originally hails from Madisonville in Western Kentucky, where he learned the secrets of southern cuisine and refined his smoking techniques. “Whole hog barbecue is my first love. I am pumped beyond belief to get on the stick and start smoking.”
$15 gets you all you can eat from the huge hog that will be slow-cooked for 15+ hours. $6 cocktail specials and $2 Bud Light and Budweiser specials will be offered 4:-9 p.m. Red Barn will also offer its full dinner menu.
Red Barn Kitchen is located at 8131 New La Grange Road in Lyndon. The restaurant offers bone-in fried chicken, shrimp and grits with country ham and shellfish broth, BLT with pimento cheese and fried green tomatoes, and plenty of expertly-smoked meats. Hickory, cherry, and oak flavors mix with pork, pork ribs, beef brisket, and beef ribs.
