As Rodney Scott gears up to open his barbecue joint in The Met, the James Beard Award-winning chef is the main course in Episode 3 of Netflix’s Chef’s Table: BBQ. The series is available on September 2, Netflix announced Monday, alongside a trailer for the new season (below). It is the seventh season for the four-episode series and is completely centered around barbecue.
Scott, who operates two locations of his Whole Hog BBQ restaurant in Charleston and Birmingham, is expected to open his Adair Park location in September. Permitting for the new restaurant got underway in May after the plans were announced last year.
Nick Pihakis, the former CEO of Jim ‘N Nick’s BBQ, is a partner on the incoming restaurant adjacent to the West End MARTA station and situated between Murphy Avenue and Metropolitan Parkway in the 1.1 million-square-foot development.
Here’s the full trailer:
[Editor’s note: an earlier version of this article placed The Met in Atlanta’s West End. The neighborhood is actually Adair Park.]

The Met sounds like a really cool spot!
Have y’all been there yet?
I’ve been by it a few times but never gone. It seems like it should be really cool once it’s fully up and running. Aren’t they turning the old water tower (or whatever it was) into a bar?
Yeah, I think the tower is supposed to be a bar or coffee shop.
A friend of mine was looking for an assemblage artist for a Delta project.
I went through the directory for The Met and was really impressed with the
amount creative businesses there!
