Rodney Scott BBQ

South Carolina is no stranger to great barbecue, and just outside of Charleston’s downtown core you can find outstanding places where they’re preparing everything right on site in their own smokehouses. Scott specializes in whole hog barbecue, cooking the pig belly down for 12 hours over coals that have hickory and pecan mixed in, then flipped on their back to cook a little longer. While Scott has great barbecue, catfish, and ribs, first-timers should experience the whole hog, either by the pound with some sides or as an outstanding sandwich.
