Slows Bar BQ Triple Threat Pork Sandwich

Slows Bar BQ has become a cornerstone of the Detroit food scene, building a reputation for its chef-driven approach to barbecue that helped revitalize the Corktown neighborhood. The restaurant is renowned for its meticulous preparation methods, which involve slow-smoking meats for hours over hickory and other hardwoods. This process breaks down the collagen in the pork shoulder, resulting in the exceptionally tender, juicy, and smoky pulled pork that serves as the foundation for many of their most popular dishes.

Triple Threat Pork Sandwich, priced at $12, is a mighty sandwich that stacks their signature pulled pork high with layers of applewood smoked bacon and sliced ham, creating a multi-textured pork experience. The sandwich can be made gluten-free upon request by serving it without the bun. It is a celebration of all things pork, combining the smoky tenderness of the pulled pork, the salty crispness of the bacon, and the savory depth of the ham.

The Triple Threat Pork Sandwich is a standout in a city with a strong barbecue culture and is often compared to other signature pork sandwiches from top competitors. These include the classic Pulled Pork Sandwich at Bad Brad's BBQ, the "Big Pig" sandwich (which combines pulled pork and pork belly) at the acclaimed Union Woodshop in nearby Clarkston, and the straightforward yet beloved pulled pork offerings at Woodpile BBQ Shack.
