Kevin Gibson deems the ribs from New Albany's Shawn's Southern BBQ "worth a return trip, with just the right crisp in the bark and a nice, tangy flavor without any unnecessary sweetness." Working from generations-old family recipes, Gibson reports owner Shawn Pitts "mostly sells to-go orders and does catering" from his State Street restaurant, when he's not busy being a "bass player for Jerry Green and Friends" or "giving lessons at Jimmy's Music in New Albany." The musical Pitt notes "the barbecue joint actually was sort of an accident." [Insider Louisville]
