It’s not a cliche that the South, particularly the Crescent South, knows how to make outstanding barbecue, such as this plate from Sweatman’s just outside Holly Hill, S.C.
Holly Hill is in Orangeburg County, which at 1,128 square miles is almost the size of Rhode Island! The county, home to 91,476 people in 2012, stretches from Eutawville and its Revolutionary War site in the east near Lake Marion to Springfield and North, more than 60 miles to the west. Almost two in three residents of the county are black. Some 24.5 percent of residents live below poverty.
