OLD SCHOOL BBQ: 9_0_162_1bbq08

After a watching over the cooking process throughout the night, pit cooker Willie Johnson takes a drink at Scott's BBQ in Hemingway, South Carolina, June 21, 2012. The Southern Foodways Alliance and the University of Mississippi’s Center for the Study of Southern Culture made a stop at Scott's to complete the month-long trip to gather and preserve the stories behind South Carolina’s barbecue culture during their ongoing documentary project, The Southern BBQ Trail. According to food historian Rien Fertel and photographer Denny Culbert, who are conducting the study, there are only ten or 15 BBQ pits in the whole South that use the old-timey methods of fire coal pit cooked BBQ they use at Scott's.
