A chef-driven BBQ restaurant in Dallas is headed to Flavortown: Slow Bone, the Texas barbecue restaurant from acclaimed chef Jeffery Hobbs, will appear on Food Network in April in an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, the series hosted by the effervescent Guy Fieri.

Slow Bone, which opened in 2013, is known for its prime brisket and extra-creative sides, with Hobbs using his fine-dining skills on veggies such as sweet potato praline, Brussels flower au gratin, and pea salad. Only four of their sides contain meat, making them the most vegetarian-friendly BBQ joint in Texas.

You'd think that the sides might be the focus of their segment, but the episode they'll appear on is called “Sandwich Shenanigans," with the description as follows:

"This trip, Guy Fieri's diggin' into killer combos between the bread! There's big-time Texas BBQ with fine dining flair in Dallas, pairing the-bomb brisket with smoked mushroom duxelles and piling prime-time pork with apple slaw. Then, in Gainesville, Fla., a real-deal deli is plating a spot-on Cubano and a turkey-short rib mashup, au-jus style. And a Baton Rouge, La., joint is puttin' their stamp on po'boys, dishing out boudin balls with remoulade, plus rockin' roast beef and shrimp with a Creole kick."

Food Network does not name the restaurants that appear on the show, and restaurants are not allowed to confirm their participation until 30 days before the show airs. Chef Hobbs was unavailable for comment.

But Slow Bone was one of the seven-or-so Dallas-area restaurants that Fieri and his DD&D crew visited in early December, when they taped segments for future episodes such as this.

A peek at Slow Bone's menu reveals this signature dish — note the italicized words:

• Texas Nail. Goodstock Prime Brisket, smoked mushroom duxelle, caramelized onions, roasted green chiles, Revolver Blood & Honey melty cheddar, lime creama, & jalapeño bbq sauce on a toasted challah bun.

Bingo.

Barbecue is a favorite cuisine on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and the fact that Slow Bone is a chef-driven take is just the cherry on the sundae.

Slow Bone is the third Dallas-area restaurant with a DD&D episode locked in: East Dallas Asian restaurant Hello Dumpling was featured on a show that aired on February 21, and Rye, the creative American restaurant on Greenville Avenue, will be featured in an episode premiering on March 7.

“Triple-D” has been airing on The Food Network since 2006 and has spotlighted at least 1,000 kitchens in all 50 states. Meanwhile, a Guy Fieri restaurant opened in Dallas on February 6: Called Chicken Guy!, it specializes in chicken tenders, served solo, or in sandwiches and salads, and opened at The Hill at US-75 and Walnut Hill Lane, where was brought by a local franchisee.

“Sandwich Shenanigans” premieres Friday, April 11 at 8 pm.
