Scotty B.s’ Food for Travel

Reporting from Bethany
At 214 West North Street, just off the main road in the small town of Bethany, a large red trailer sits in the driveway. It’s next to a plain white yard sign advertising Scotty B’s, a concession business founded by Sullivan native and former Navy cook Scott Buxton.
“It definitely did not look like that when I got it,” said Buxton, laughing and pointing at the trailer.
As the president of Sullivan’s own Junior Football League, Buxton has always valued his connection to his neighbors.
“We’re trying to just offer something for our community,” Buxton said. “I like making people happy when I cook… I’m just trying to offer something a little bit different...another slice of life out there for folks.”
That other slice is a Monday-Friday menu that includes pulled pork (on Fridays), burgers, a tenderloin measuring ten-and-a-half inches, French and sweet potato fries, chicken tenders, hot dogs, grilled cheese sandwiches, and funnel cakes (on Wednesdays).
There’s also a special challenge meal with a 30-minute time limit. It’s called the boss hog, and it’s a sandwich weighing more than four pounds, consisting of two pieces of Texas toast, one giant tenderloin, a pound of pulled pork, a pound of fries, a pound of bake beans, a pound of coleslaw, plus cheese and jalapeños.
