"This Michelin Bib Gourmand winner Cobb County barbecue spot has limited seating, but chefs and owners Cody Taylor and Jiyeon Lee bring more than enough flavor to compensate for the cramped quarters or a ride home with a to-go box. Taylor and Lee’s Southern-Korean barbecue restaurant offers a must-try spicy Korean pork sandwich on its menu with chopped rib meat marinated in fermented chile paste, topped with kimchi coleslaw, black sesame seeds, and a sliced scallion. Order the sandwich with a side of Brunswick stew, cucumber radish salad, or kimchi slaw." - Candy Hom
"Sure, parking is tight and “dining in” means standing outside over a highboy, but we’ll suffer these minor inconveniences for this BBQ. Owned by a former Korean pop star-turned chef and her Texas-raised partner, Cumberland’s Heirloom melds smoky grill flavors with hefty doses of Korean influences. And while K-fusion is nothing new, Heirloom just does it best. Smoked ribs get slathered in a gochujang rub and spicy pork sandwiches come with a healthy dollop of tangy kimchi on top. Even their side game is strong—we'd be happy to eat their sweet and spicy tofu cubes as a main and their mac and cheese with chili flakes adds a pop of fun to a Southern staple." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
"A go-to for visiting chefs and kitchen teams taking a break from prep — its eclectic offerings encourage sampling and sharing, making it an easy place to step away from the kitchen while loosely discussing collaborations, charity dinners, and other events." - Henna Bakshi
"Korean flavors meet Southern barbecue at critically acclaimed Heirloom Market BBQ, located about two miles from the Battery Atlanta and Truist Park in the Cumberland area. It’s a takeout-only joint, so plan to enjoy this barbecue at home or in the car. It’s not uncommon to see people eating in the parking lot. For wing lovers, order a pound of smoked drums and flats, which are flash fried and tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce and served with a side of zesty kimchi mayo." - Mike Jordan
