Shawn's Southern BBQ has opened in New Albany, serving "Memphis-style barbecue based on owner Shawn Pitts' century-old family recipe" according to a news release obtained by Business First. Pitts taught guitar lessons for several years at Jimmy's Music Center in downtown New Albany and competed in barbecue competitions, recently winning both awards in Horseshoe BBQ Battle. Currently open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, though a Facebook post says the restaurant "may extend hours soon!" [Business First]
