About Anthony:
Born and raised in Mantua, New Jersey, Anthony DiBernardo entered the culinary world at the age of 14 as a banquet cook. Later, the US Navy brought Anthony to the Lowcountry, where he has lived for nearly 25 years. After serving as a cook on the USS Batfish submarine for four years, Anthony began working in the kitchen at Blossom Café. His résumé includes roles as the Executive Chef at Kiawah Island Resort, Corporate Executive Chef at Mustard Seed, and Operating Partner and Head Chef at Rita’s.
With a deep-rooted passion, DiBernardo created the unique dining experience of Swig & Swine – a chef-driven barbecue concept using only wood as the fuel for the fire. Swig & Swine’s smoker, custom-built by Guerrilla Fabrication, burns only hickory, oak, and pecan woods. All meats receive a dry rub, then the “low and slow” cooking process begins.
You may recognize him from his distinguished black-framed glasses or his “horrifying vegetarians” themed t-shirts, but most people align Mr. Anthony DiBernardo as the energetic Pitmaster and Owner of Swig & Swine BBQ in Charleston, South Carolina.
Anthony’s enthusiasm doesn’t stop at barbecue. He is committed to supporting the Ronald McDonald House, Camp Happy Days, Charleston County School of the Arts, Ashley River Creative School, The Daniel Glenn O’ Rourk Memorial Benefit Bash (for children fighting cancer), St. Andrews Math & Science, and the Miracle League of Charleston and Summerville.
He opened Swig & Swine BBQ in collaboration with Queen Street Hospitality Group in 2013. DiBernardo has opened two Swig & Swine concepts in Charleston and Summerville, SC, with a third expected to open in Mount Pleasant, SC, in Spring 2018.
About Swig & Swine:
The Lowcountry’s authentic all-wood smoked barbecue joint, Swig & Swine’s barbecue is cooked low and slow, savoring all the natural juices and locking in that iconic smoked flavor that keep guest coming back for more. With custom smokers that burn only wood, Swig & Swine specializes in house-smoked meats and creative sides served in a funky BBQ spot with outdoor seating, craft beer and bourbon. Salt, pepper, smoke and meat – these simple ingredients come together to form perfect barbecue every time.
