This week, Rasheed sits down with Anthony DiBernardo, the pitmaster and founder behind Charleston’s beloved Swig & Swine BBQ, to talk about the journey from dream to legacy. Anthony opens up about betting on himself, the sacrifices and support that built his business, and the heartbreak of losing his son, Asher. Together, they reflect on resilience, faith, and how community and the Holy Smokes BBQ Festival, help heal and uplift families through their work with Ronald McDonald House Charities. It’s an honest, deeply human conversation about what barbecue really means when the fire goes beyond the pit.
