I was so glad to get a call from John Parker the other day. John is the son of Guy Parker, a legendary barbecue pit master who ran a beloved restaurant in Goldsboro, N.C., for 44 years. His family served some of the best 'cue I have ever had, but also made us all feel like brothers and sisters and reminded us just how sweet life can be.

Remembering a Barbecue Legend: The Rev. Adam Scott of Goldsboro, N.C.
The Rev. Adam Scott was a Pentecostal Holiness minister born in Goldsboro, N.C., in 1890. He went on to become barbecue royalty. He was called a "barbecue artist" and the "Barbecue King" of Eastern North Carolina. In 1933, he threw a barbecue for Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt in the White House's Rose Garden, bless its dearly departed soul.
