A giant cast-iron burgoo kettle stands outside the Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn in Owensboro, described by the Owensboro-Daviess County Convention & Visitors Bureau's own destination management director as 'the biggest burgoo pot.' The kettle has historically been driven in parades across the state, tying it to Owensboro's identity as home of the International Bar-B-Q Festival (now BBQ and Barrels) and the regional specialty dish burgoo.
