Thanks for the tip on whether mutton BBQ is driving out of the way for (notwithstanding your completely off-base take on Popeyes 😉).

Don't get me wrong - I'm certain that mutton BBQ can be profound; it's just that these two local-legend places weren't. I don't know if you've been to places like Mount Vernon Inn in Mount Vernon, VA; Old South Mountain Inn in Boonsboro, MD etc., but that's kind of what it was like. You can sort-of tell from the picture, right? I also had burgoo there, and it was nothing I would go out of my way to order (again, I'm sure it can be wonderful, but it was originally just road-kill stew). [I should move these to an Owensboro, KY thread in Intrepid Traveler.]

And maybe there's a reason why "mutton" was the subject of a classic Seinfeld episode. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wink_(Seinfeld) 1
