This video features Rodney Scott, owner of Rodney Scott Whole Hog BBQ (locations in Charleston, SC and Birmingham, AL) and Roscoe Hall, grandson of the founder of Dreamland Bar-B-Que in Tuscaloosa, AL and manager of Rodney's Birmingham location. The video description says, "Both men now carry forward a legacy of African American knowledge and labor. This is a story about generational transfer, black entrepreneurship, and the future of barbecue in the Deep South."

I think you'll like it. Unless you're a skateboarder (don't watch the closing scene after film credits).

This video was produced by Southern Foodways Alliance. I learned about it through the weekly BBQ News Roundup from Texas Monthly. If you like Texas barbecue, you should sign-up for their biweekly newsletter.
