Rodney Scott continues his Rodney In Exile tour tonight in New Orleans, Louisiana at Cochon. Back in November of last year, Scott’s eponymous barbecue joint caught fire and sustained serious damage in an early morning fire.
Scott, “Fire does what it wants. This is like a speed bump. You readjust and you go over it again. We gotta rebuild the building and we’re good.”
The Fatback Collective, a group of chefs, drunkards, restaurateurs and writers organized a benefit tour that has seen Mr. Scott sweep across the Deep South raising money that will be used to rebuild the pitroom at his restaurant in Hemingway, South Carolina.
Tonight’s party will feature asado cooking from Cochon owner Donald Link as well as Scott’s whole hog barbecue.
Tickets are hundred bucks.
