Rodney Scott’s World of BBQ: Every Day Is a Good Day, by Rodney Scott and Lolis Eric Elie

Rodney’s place is the one spot I have to swing by if I’m in Charleston—my family, who always expect a to-go order, would never let me live it down if I skipped it. At this point a lot of folks believe they know Scott’s story, but having spent time with him, I get that there’s something deeper there. His optimism is boundless and his food is delicious. I want to hear what Rodney has to say, in his own words. A few great barbecue recipes don’t hurt either. —Latria Graham, contributing editor
