Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
Like the very line of people waiting to get in, a thick haze of sweet smoke wraps around this handsome brick building. Rodney Scott’s whole-hog barbecue is a rite of passage for anyone who lives in or visits South Carolina, though true fans will drive 1.5 hours north to the original in Hemingway. Scott has hog in his blood: His parents raised them and opened a variety store and restaurant in 1972. The menu today is expansive, but the real gem is the pulled pork, which arrives soft as cotton candy, ready to be sopped in an electric sauce of vinegar, lemon juice, and spices. Tender collard greens, gooey mac and cheese, and a fantastic apple hand pie round out this filling meal. The drive-through window is a useful addition for people in a hurry.
