Smokey Pig has been around for a number of years, dating back into the early 70's. The original owner, Ned "Smokey" Nickerson, sold the business to Kaye Huffer in 1999. Actually, it was Kaye's husband, Phil, who was instrumental in the family taking over Smokey Pig. Phil grew up in Monroe County, Kentucky, about 50 miles away from Bowling Green. In Monroe County, they have a style of barbecue that is called, well, "Monroe County-style barbecue". Basically, it's a pork-centric barbecue where they smoke the meat with no spices added - the hickory wood smoke gives the meat its signature taste - and before they serve it, they put a little bit of a vinegar-based barbecue sauce on the meat. It's an acquired taste, for sure, but one that a lot of people in Southern Kentucky seem to like. Phil Huffer liked it so much that he would make the 100 mile round trip to Monroe County for barbecue a couple times a week before the family bought Smokey Pig Bar-B-Q.
