CHEF WALKER’ S BBQ
Silver & Spring St. at the Marathon 502.644.5345
LOCATED just off Spring Street in New Albany, Chef Walker’ s BBQ is a humble stand near the Marathon just off of Providence Way. Offering his finest pulled pork drenched in his signature, in-house apple butter sauce, the chef himself, Ola Walker, explained the local and intimate qualities of his BBQ.
“ We are southern-type BBQ. My girlfriend is from Mississippi, and I’ m from Alabama,” Walker said.“ We have our own identity. That’ s what I think is so special about our barbecue.”
Cooked on-site daily, Walker promises consistently savory quality. With a sweet taste and tender pork, it’ s no surprise you’ ll be back after a taste.
“ We always keep the same standard at all times. We never change,” Walker said.“ If you come one day to the next, the food is the same.”
So good, Walker professes, he could never settle on one menu item to declare a favorite.
“ What’ s good? Everything,” Walker said.“ People like it because it’ s fresh; outstanding ribs, pulled pork, chicken, collared greens.”
