Attention, Texas food fanatics: the collaboration you didn’t know you needed just dropped, and it’s built for dunking. Son of a Butcher (SoB), known for those craveable smash patties, has joined forces with the legendary King’s Hawaiian to create the Rip It & Dip It slider series. They’re taking SoB’s signature sliders, swapping the regular bun for that iconic King’s Hawaiian sweet roll, and pairing each one with a bold dipping sauce—or, more accurately, an insane dipping queso.
This limited-time menu isn’t playing around. The whole point is to tear off a piece of your slider and submerge it deep into a custom-made queso. It’s the perfect exploration of sweet-and-savory balance, all wrapped up in a handheld, highly dippable format. According to Brandon Braddick, Director of Operations for Son of a Butcher, this partnership gave them the perfect chance to push the boundaries, noting that “Guests are going to be obsessed.”
The Rip It & Dip It series runs from October 20 through November 30 and features three distinct flavor drops, giving you a new reason to visit every few weeks:
Hatch Chile (Oct. 20 – Nov. 2): This one starts with a beef smash patty, white American cheese, caramelized onions, and hatch chiles. It comes with a queso blanco blended with even more hatch chiles and a kick of green Tabasco. Perfect for those who like a little fire with their flavor.
Mushroom Chimichurri (Nov. 3 – Nov. 16): Next up, you get a patty piled with sautéed wild mushrooms and a hit of chimichurri. The dipping sauce is a chimichurri queso blanco that’s going to add a vibrant, herbaceous punch to that sweet King’s Hawaiian roll.
Spicy Pepper (Nov. 17 – Nov. 30): Closing out the series is a slider featuring a hot pepper blend, pickled onions, and basil. Naturally, the dipping sauce is an intense house hot-sauce queso blanco. This is how you end a limited-time run – with a bang!
You can find this glorious collab at all SoB locations – that includes Grapevine, Fort Worth, Lower Greenville, and their flagship stall at Legacy Food Hall in Plano. You only have until the end of November to snag these flavor bombs, so start plotting your attack now. We know one thing for sure: these two brands just raised the bar for what a slider can be.
