I dont know whats harder for me to fathom. The fact that Ive been corresponding back and forth with THE Virginia Willis for a couple of months or that she actually agreed to participate in one of my favorite features on my site, My Favorite BBQ Joints?
Virginia Willis is a food icon. Truly. To pin her down to just one hat would be a sin, so know that she is all at once a chef, food writer, spokesperson, and extremely prolific blogger. She also is a culinary TV producer, a professional recipe developer, and social media food authority. Her legion of fans love her knack for giving classic French dishes a down-home Southern feel and re-imagining homey Southern favorites en Franaise. Shes definitely an authority of food (more specifically Southern Food), but what makes me proud is her devotion to BBQ.
Here are Virginia Willis favorite BBQ joints in her words:
Current Faves:
Heirloom BBQ Atlanta, GA
Smoky wonderful goodness. Located in the other half of a convenience store, this BBQ spot has exploded onto the ATL dining scene. Its a perfect mash-up of hillbilly and haute cuisine. Both of the owners, a husband-wife team, have fine-dining backgrounds. Jiyeon is a trained pastry chef and Korean, so there are also Korean influences that are surprising and wonderful. Its not fusion in the train-wreck sort of way. Its works. The Korean Sweet Potatoes are absolutely addictive.

Fox Bros Atlanta, GA
Its the best place for Texas style BBQ in Atlanta. They like to call it Texas with a Southern influence. The meats are smoked over hickory and its nice to see the smoke when you pull up in the parking lot. Theyve got really good vegetables, and use only seasonal and local farmers. Ive taken out of town guests here and met with great success. Its the place for brisket in Atlanta.

Fat Matts Rib Shack Atlanta, GA
This is where I take the uninitiated for real Southern style BBQ. Theyve got meaty, thick, rich Brunswick Stew, one of my favorites. Its thick enough to hold a spoon straight up. This is the close as it gets in Atlanta for a real BBQ joint. The collard greens are tender and suspended in smoky, salty pot likker.

Community Q Decatur, GA
Dave Roberts, the former chef de cuisine under Gunter Seeger now is a pit master. His attention to detail is awesome. Homemade, amazing food. No gallons of pre made corn-syrup fake smoke sauce will be found here. The pulled pork is sweet pink and smoky. He sells local seasonal vegetables out front and its truly a local, community place.
