Rodney in Exile BBQ Tour

Cost: $100/person

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.
