Rank 1. Heritage Barbecue
Texas Barbecue
Barbecue is basically a religion, and Heritage is the kind of church worth making a pilgrimage for. This Michelin Bib Gourmand BBQ spot in San Juan Capistrano does central Texas proud, running on California white oak smoke and pure conviction. Show up early, because the faithful line up before the doors open and the best cuts go fast. The crowd is focused and meat-serious, trays loaded, no small talk until after the brisket.
