Back in November, famed barbecue pitmaster Rodney Scott’s pit house went up in flames. There was no doubt that he would rebuild, and with the help and support of some friends, perhaps he’ll be able to do so a little more quickly and easily. The Fatback Collective, an association of chefs and pitmasters that celebrate their love of pork, created the Fatback Fund to support each other and their communities in times of crisis.
The “Rodney in Exile BBQ Tour” was born, and next week it makes a stop in Nashville. On January 23rd, Rodney will take over the daily lunch special at Husk, serving the “Rodney Plate Special”. Later that evening, Rodney will join Sean Brock from Husk and Pat Martin from Martin’s BBQ at Ruby for dinner. Rodney will be cooking the whole hog, and there will be fried chicken from Sean and brisket from Pat.
Seats for the event can be reserved by calling Husk at 615.256.6565 or Martin’s at 615.686.2066 or 615.776.1856. For a few more details, check out this post on the Nashville Scene’s Bites Blog.

Cost: $35/person or free with a 12th & Broad membership (priced at $14 a month)
The newly formed 12th & Broad has created a unique pop-up dinner experience celebrating and exploring both food and literature. During each course, there will be readings related to that particular dish. Dinner will be prepared by two of my buddies, Vivek of VEA Supper Club and Karl of Biscuit Love Truck, so I can pretty much guarantee it’s going to be incredible!
Seating is limited due to capacity at Arnold’s, so hurry and get your tickets before they sell out. For more information on the event and to purchase tickets, click here.
is it 35 for both nights? or each? with the membership is it the monthly one or the annual one?
Thanks
Hey Renee, it’s $35 for each night. Sorry if that wasn’t clear. I’m not really familiar with the 12th and Broad memberships, and basically just posted the info as they had it written. If I had to guess, I would think it would be free if you have a yearly membership….
Probably best to go to their website and get more details or send them an inquiry. Thanks!
Oooh I’m going to the Arnold’s thing! Are you?
Not sure yet. I have a pretty full calendar already that week, so don’t know if I can be an absentee mom another night!!
