It was also going to open in Atlanta’s West End, but has chosen the popular Adair Park neighborhood.
How does Scott make his barbecue? The restaurant’s website describes it like this:
Hardwood is burned down to glowing embers at the side of the bbq pits. Those embers are shoveled carefully under the meat and tended—paying special attention to temperature and heat placement—using those coals to regulate cooking through the entire process.
Sounds absolutely delicious…
