The shoulder cut of meat is smoked for 12 hours using hickory, cherry, and apple woods before it is seasoned with owner Steve Ross' blend of 12 spices. And Roscoe's signature sauce puts other mass-produced versions to shame: it takes Ross nearly a full day to concoct the sauce, made fresh with real brown sugar and honey. We recommend it Memphis style, with the cole slaw on top.
