Feast BBQ is famous in Louisville, as many fans actually do want "smoked meat everyday." Tacos may not technically be a sandwich, but these are so delicious, we'll consider it close enough. Try them either "Mexican Style," as a more traditional taco or "American Style," slathered in BBQ sauce and slaw.
