BBQ meets Korean flavors: brisket, ribs, kimchi slaw
"I admire what Co-Chefs Cody Taylor and Jiyeon Lee have done blending Southern and Korean flavors in a small spot that shares space with a liquor store: the Korean pork, smoked and braised in a sweet-spicy sauce, is a signature that sings, brisket is tender and unfussy, and inventive touches like green tomato kimchi with jalapeños and radish plus distinctive sauces (mustardy Hotlanta and pepper-vinegar Settler) make the food memorable." - The MICHELIN Guide
"In Atlanta, Heirloom Market BBQ is listed as a barbecue restaurant on the MICHELIN Guide's inaugural American South Bib Gourmand list." - The MICHELIN Guide
"As one of our highest-rated restaurants, Heirloom Market BBQ is probably a secret to no one. But if you’re hitting this place for the first time, just look for a small, packed convenience store parking lot off Akers Mill. All those cars are here for Heirloom’s BBQ-meets-KBBQ masterpieces like plump smoked wings, crispy Korean fried chicken, and tender ribs coated in sweet and spicy Korean sauce. There’s no seating inside here, so takeout is king. Or you can always join the folks standing outside on the tiny mural-decorated patio, enjoying a giant kalbi rib with chilli-spiced mac and cheese." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
"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
