First it was Guy Fieri making the rounds. Then it was The Chocolate Bar serving up sweets, Feast making an outrageous meal, and Fusion Taco riding to Canadian fame. It seems like the Food Network just can't get enough of Houston, and we are loving every minute of it.

The latest Houston eats getting a star turn is Beaver's, where Food Network program Meat & Potatoes filmed for 14 hours on Thursday.

"It went awesome," Beaver's executive chef Jonathan Jones tells CultureMap. Jones said Beaver's came up as a candidate for the show when Catalan's Chris Shepherd (who went to culinary school with Jones) mentioned it to the production managers.

"He put my name in the hat for Meat & Potatoes, said the design of show is a lot more fun, geared more towards us being part of it," Jones says. "About a month later we got a call. The only reason they heard of us was from Chris' recommendation."

According to Jones, producers are also shooting scenes at Little Bitty Burger Barn and Zelko Bistro, airing on different episodes.

Set to air in February or March, the Beaver's episode will be called "Pigging Out" and feature (you guessed it) pork. The focus was on a Northeast-style barbecue at a Texas restaurant, ("even though we obviously put our Texas stamp on it," Jones says) showcasing a pulled pork sandwich, sausage, a New York strip steak in bacon-mushroom gravy, a bacon bloody mary ("a trifecta of bacon in a glass") and boudin balls with pork liver.

In addition to cooking with executive chef Jonathan Jones, there was also a segment with host Rahm Fama and Morgan Weber of Revival Meats, currently a wholesaler that will open its own deli market in February.

"Jonathan called me a couple weeks ago to ask if I had a pig available for the shoot, and he told me to come by if I was free" Weber says. "But I got busy on Thursday until JJ texted me around 3:30 saying 'You need to get over here, the host wants to sit down with the farmer who raised the pork. So as we were in the segment where they taste all the food I came and he asked me how the pigs are raised, where the farm is, what we do.

"It's a very new direction for the Food Network, I've never seen anyone pay attention to that before."

Asked if his televised appearance was a surprise, Weber says yes. "I probably would have dressed differently," he says.

"It was a great opportunity for JJ and I to talk about how close-knit the food community is and try to to do something good for the city."
