Celebrated BBQ Chef Arrives In Atlanta At An Uncertain Time For Restaurants

Even as Atlantans venture out of their houses again to eat, some parts of the restaurant industry are still recovering from the pandemic. Some places didn’t make it while others are having trouble finding workers.

Pitmaster and chef Rodney Scott has won the prestigious James Beard award, he’s been featured on the show “Chef’s Table” on Netflix and he’s written a book.

He opened his Whole Hog BBQ restaurant in South Carolina a few years ago, then expanded to Birmingham and now, Atlanta, in a converted auto repair shop in the Adair Park neighborhood, across the street from the Met.
