Cody Taylor and former South Korean teen pop star-turned-chef Jiyeon Lee are partners in Heirloom, and the experience the pair provides is infused with Korean influences and Asian aesthetic sensibility. Sundry sorts of wood are each used to smoke a different type barbecue. The spicy Korean-style barbecue sandwich is not wicked hot, but blends Korean flavors with a fresh kimchi coleslaw atop a sweet smoked pile of pork: Carolina meets Korea. The Brunswick stew is fresh tasting and boasts a vinegary tang. Spareribs show the requisite pink smoke ring, proof of the cooking method. Four sauces rest on the table: a Carolina vinegar-pepper sauce; a smoky-sweet Tennessee style; a peppery Texas style; and perhaps the best, KB, for Korean Barbecue, thick, sweet and just slightly zipped up with spice. Not in the mood for 'cue? Have one of the best burgers in the city, made with grass-fed beef from a Georgia producer. Based on green tea, the sweet iced tea is addictive.
