Rodney Scott's BBQ

Rodney Scott is one of the most decorated pitmasters in America — a James Beard Best Chef Southeast winner who's spent his life cooking whole hogs over hickory and oak the old Hemingway, South Carolina way. The pulled pork is the order, sauced with his family's vinegar-pepper recipe; the ribs are smoked over the same coals. Counter-service, paper plates, no pretense. A living monument to a barbecue tradition that almost disappeared. For the most important whole-hog destination in America.
