What is Burgoo?

Read A Regional Tradition: Burgoo. Another site burgoo.info does a good job explaining as well.
Burgoo is popular in Henderson Kentucky that is for sure. For the past few years Burgoo has been so popular that they sell out a week before the date of the Burgoo. If you want some be sure to reserve your gallon now! I have!
Each kettle makes at least 25 gallons and sometimes more. A long time Supporter of the Riverview Burgoo Connie Flint Mays told me that the making of the Burgoo has become harder since many of the places that used to donate food to benefits are no longer in business. Flint-May’s said “businesses like Frank G Schmitt and C L Frank Produce was always generous and gracious when it came to Riverview Burgoo time.” Personally, I think it is a shame that big box stores like the Wal-Mart’s of the world cannot fill the gaps like these businesses did in the past.
Not only does Riverview School make good Burgoo, but they own the 10 kettles that are used all over Henderson County for fundraisers.
Pre-sale patrons can pick up from 10-11:30am. Since this is a pre-sale only Burgoo and all the tickets have been sold there is a possibility after 11:00 am any extra will be available to the public.
For more information contact Riverview School at 270.827.3674. They sell the Burgoo for $15 per gallon, and that includes a container. That is a very fair price, and I think is under priced. I told Connie without a doubt, they should go to $20 a gallon next Burgoo and be sure to put me on the list of people to call and sell me a ticket.
I don’t have one for this Burgoo and really don’t want to stand in line to get some. So this Saturday I will be Burgoo -less! For those that got some ENJOY! It’s good stuff!
