Korean barbecue sandwich at Heirloom Market BBQ

If you need proof that the mingling of the Korean and Southern barbecue traditions is a blissful thing, look no further than Heirloom Market’s Korean barbecue sandwich. Owners Cody Taylor and Jiyeon Lee, whose respective Texan and South Korean roots are the human version of Southern and Korean mingling, take gochujang-marinated, hickory-smoked pork rib meat, chop it up, and place it over a soft potato bun with a pile of crisp and funky kimchi cole slaw. You get sweet, you get sassy, you get smoky, all in a way that’s undeniably Korean, irrefutably Southern, and unmistakably delicious. $9.
