Heim Barbecue

3 Best Day Trips From Dallas | Condé Nast Traveler

"What started as a college hobby for pit master Travis Heim has turned into Fort Worth's coolest barbecue destination, a feat in a place with so much good barbecue. Heim and his wife Emma, who are co-owners, have worked hard to bring a solid barbecue establishment to the city's ultra-hip Magnolia Avenue, and their willingness to learn from Texas barbecue legends has only made the restaurant that much better. Your trip must include an order of the bacon burnt ends—cubed chunks of pork belly coated in a secret smoky-and-sweet spice mixture." - Tommie Ethington, Diana Oates
