Ask any SCBBQ fan “Where can I find the best barbecue in South Carolina?” and the short answer would be Hemingway.

Hemingway is home to Scott’s Bar-B-Que, where a young Rodney Scott once took over the pits from his father Rosie and propelled Hemingway and Scott’s Bar-B-Que new heights.

Well, the spotlight on Hemingway may now fade.

Scott has opened his new restaurant, Rodney Scott’s BBQ, in Charleston, where BBQ has seen a recent boon with the addition of places like Lewis BBQ, Smoke, and Poogan’s Smokehouse to an already strong lineup.

But don’t feel too bad for Scott’s original location. It is still in business and still cooking SC’s best BBQ. Rumor has it that Rosie is back in the kitchen along with Rodney’s son, so we should be able to enjoy another generation of great BBQ at Scott’s.

I LIKE IT ALL….

…but if I have to choose what I like most, then let’s say the recipes. Love to read all the recipes and take note of the different ingredients, but can’t beat Rodney Scotts’ vinegar and pepper mop sauce! Buy it. I did, and I am going to use it. I love all things BBQ.

TOOK A LOT OF HARD WORK

What I liked most about the cookbook was the bbq sauces – this took a lot of hard work. It’s worth the money. Buy the cookbook, you won’t find one any better. I have tried a couple of the sauces – they were real good!

BY LOCALS FOR LOCALS

INTERESTING READING

This cookbook was interesting reading on facts If you want to know more about regional BBQ, buy it. Worth the price. I prefer mustard sauces, make my own and always looking for ideas to make it better. However, I’m not sold on that BBQ was invented in SC.
