Momma’s Mustard, Pickles and BBQ on Bauer Avenue in Louisville has been a city BBQ institution since it opened, building a reputation around the slow-smoked meats, house-made mustard sauce, and the from-scratch BBQ that earns a Louisville restaurant its destination reputation in a Kentucky city that has developed a serious appreciation for quality independent BBQ. It appeared in Season 25, Episode 13 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Carnivore Creations,” which aired December 23, 2016. Guy Fieri found a Louisville pit kitchen doing BBQ from scratch with the low-and-slow commitment and the house-made condiments that earn a neighborhood smokehouse its loyal following.
