Job Description:
Job DescriptionCompany Overview When Pitmaster Rodney Scott was
in middle school, he started cooking whole hogs at his family's
restaurant in rural South Carolina. By the time he was in his
mid-twenties he already had more experience in the bbq pits than
most men twice his age. Rodney, along with his partners at Rodney
Scott's BBQ opened the original Charleston, SC location in 2017 and
the very next year Rodney Scott was awarded the James Beard Award
for Best Chef Southeast. There is now a second location of Rodney
Scott's BBQ in Birmingham, AL with plans for two more there and an
Atlanta, GA location slated to open in 2021. Pit-Cooked meats make
the difference that is evident from the first bite. Each location
has working bbq pits and pitmasters trained in the techniques of
live-coal cooking that Rodney grew up mastering. Our kitchens
produce classic side dishes—collard greens, baked beans, mac and
cheese, coleslaw, potato salad--and banana pudding is layered, and
hand pies baked every day. Our restaurants evoke the spirit of
Rodney's love of music and people gathering together over a table
of great food. A disco ball spins and funk and soul music fills the
air. Rodney Scott's Whole Hog BBQ is a place for everyone where
