For
Lowcountry caterer and pitmaster Jimmy Hagood, keeping the pantries of Southerners and would-be southerners stocked with the region’s finest foods is a passion. With several different product lines, a catering company, and the BlackJack Barbecue cooking team; an umbrella company for all of his culinary ventures was a natural fit. For Hagood, “Food for the Southern Soul” says it all – the aromas, the tastes, and best of all, the satisfaction.
