Heim Barbecue: Stellar brisket, ribs, sausage, and bacon burnt ends.
"Much like tacos, you can’t think of Texas without immediately thinking of barbecue, and Heim BBQ is one of the best options for smoked meats in Fort Worth. And Heim’s newest location, right next to the Trinity River, has plenty of space to spare - quite the opposite of the small side patio at their Magnolia Avenue location. Here you can grab a seat on their expansive covered patio or a picnic table on their open-air green space. For meats, we recommend the chopped brisket and bacon burnt ends. For sides, the onion rings and green chile mac and cheese are a must. The burger is tasty, too." - emily smith
"Jeffrey Thompson of the incredibly popular Heim Barbecue is participating in the Rattle Battle, bringing his barbecue perspective to the challenge of preparing rattlesnake." - Courtney E. Smith
"The brisket, sausage, and ribs at this Fort Worth barbecue joint are stellar, but the real star of the show is the bacon burnt ends. These delightfully smoky little nuggets of pork belly are slathered in a sweet and peppery glaze, and it’s damn near impossible to eat just one. Good news for Dallasites: Heim opened a location on Mockingbird." - Courtney E. Smith, Amy McCarthy

"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
