Heirloom Market BBQ, Cumberland
Heirloom was ranked #1 by Atlanta Magazine for BBQ in May 2013 and while I have not tried all of the others on the list I would agree. I have been here for lunch before so I knew to come late in order to avoid the crowd. I ordered the two meat plate with one side; I decided on the Pulled Pork & Brisket with the kitchen sauce and Green Tomato Kimchi. I wouldn’t necessarily say that this joint is Korean BBQ but BBQ with hints of Korean flair. The brisket was heavily smoked and the pulled pork just fell apart, both insanely good. The kitchen sauce was awesome because while it was spicy it wasn’t your typical spicy BBQ sauce, it tasted clean and fresh– if that makes any sense. The kimchi was chilled and crunchy which just added another satisfying texture to the meal. This place rocked but you must order your food to-go and the restaurant itself is very small, I can only hope that with time this place will be able to expand and perhaps relocate so it’s not next to the perimeter.
