*** Mark's Feed Store
11422 Shelbyville Road, Middletown
(502) 244-0140
Located in a former feed store for that down-home country feel, Mark's has impressed me from Day One with the highest quality hickory smoked pork and chicken, and rich, silken South Carolina barbecue sauce, the yellow mustard-based variety. (He's also succumbed to popular demand by offering an alternative sauce in the traditional red.) (Branches also at 10316 Dixie Highway, [502] 933-7707, and 1514 Bardstown Road, [502] 458-1570. $$
