"Cueing up some Jeffrey Osborne or Isaac Hayes seems like a necessary prerequisite before pulling up to the parking lot of Rodney Scott’s BBQ. Why? Because everything feels so f*cking soulful inside. The West End counter service barbecue spot, named after the restaurant owner, is well-known for the whole-hog cooking style. Additionally, turkey, chicken wings, and brisket get their turn on the heat. And when a forkful of smokey meat pairs with a drizzle of the vinegary Rodney sauce, pucker up and prepare to start humming your favorite soulful love ballads." - demarco williams, jacinta howard
