"A surprise announcement on Instagram said the Elk Grove barbecue spot at 9700 Railroad Street will transform into a branch in late February. Slow & Low owner Michael Hargis typified the move as a pivot, writing, "We needed a pit master and we are blessed to partner with one of the best in the nation." The new location will boast attractions beyond what's typically offered at the brand's restaurants, including live music, a full bar, plus guest chef and pitmaster appearances." - Dianne de Guzman
