I highly recommend this short 15-minute documentary from the Southern Foodways Alliance on a recent barbecue connection made in Birmingham, AL when Rodney Scott BBQ expanded there in 2019. While barbecue is at the heart of the documentary, it’s about so much more.

Description:
FULL CIRCLE tells the story of Rodney Scott, of Charleston, SC, founder of Rodney Scott’s Whole Hog BBQ. And Roscoe Hall, of Birmingham, AL, grandson of the founder of Dreamland Bar-B-Que in nearby Tuscaloosa, who now manages the Birmingham location of Rodney Scott’s Whole Hog BBQ. Both men grew up in the barbecue business. And both men now carry forward a legacy of African American knowledge and labor. This is a story about generational transfer, black entrepreneurship, and the future of barbecue in the Deep South.
