From the local food press
Editor’s picks from published local guides
Pitmaster Rodney Scott smokes whole hogs at his North-Central King Street pit, a style he carried from Hemingway, South Carolina. He was the first barbecue cook to win the James Beard Best Chef Southeast award, in 2018, and the MICHELIN Guide named the pit a Bib Gourmand in its inaugural 2025 American South edition. Garden and Gun points to the rib-eye sandwich and Ella's banana puddin as the orders to build a plate around, alongside the pulled pork and ribs.
