From Austin, Texas to Brooklyn, New York, Pitmaster Bill Durney brings his signature barbecue to Magic City. Just like the original location, Durney has built this warehouse-chic space amidst a sea of industry in the Miami Produce Center, where trucks and moving pallets roam the streets. The sheer scale of the space—open kitchen on one side, a long bar on the other, tables in between and a patio just beyond—is something to behold.
A hulking beef rib crusted with salt and black pepper, as well as melting, charred slices of brisket are essential orders that have few equals outside of Texas. Satisfying sides, like a yucca bowl, brisket queso and watermelon salad, round out the meal. The food here arrives almost as quickly as it’s ordered, so come hungry.
