Rodney Scott's BBQ

We recently visited Rodney Scott’s BBQ, a newer location that has opened alongside several other restaurants in the area. We’ve been looking forward to trying it, especially with the buzz surrounding this spot, so expectations were understandably high. A fair warning to anyone planning a visit: this is North Carolina–style barbecue. Most, if not all, of the sauces lean heavily on a vinegar base, which is very different from the sweeter or smokier Southern barbecue many people are used to.

Everyone raved about the Mac-n-cheese… can we find THAT recipe? The Nana pudding was a great treat to top it off.
