If you’re not lucky enough to live near one of the five locations of Rodney Scott’s BBQ across the Southeast, then you’ll soon be able to quell your cravings for tangy barbecue sauce with a trip to Target. James Beard Award-winning pitmaster Rodney Scott has teamed up with the corporate retailer to bring Southern flavors to the shelves through a collaboration with Good & Gather, Target’s in-house line of food products.
The 12 items are designed to enhance an at-home barbecue. The products include Carolina-style sauces, honey cornbread, mac and cheese, pork rinds, baked beans, iced tea, and more. However, for whole-hog barbecue, you’ll still need to visit a Rodney Scott’s BBQ.
Scott got his start in barbecue working for his family’s whole-hog business, Scott’s Bar-B-Que, in Hemingway, South Carolina. Barbecue enthusiasts drove from all over the United States to get a taste of Scott’s slow-cooked pork. He opened Rodney Scott’s BBQ in Charleston in 2017. Fans quickly lined up for a taste of whole hog, skins, and sides. And they still line up today to try Scott’s famed fare.
The pitmaster went on to win a James Beard Award, write a cookbook, and travel the world spreading tastes of whole-hog barbecue.
The Rodney Scott collaboration with Good & Gather launches June 1 for in-store and online purchasing. Below is the full selection of products. Do you think you’ll give them a taste?
