Celebrity pitmaster Christopher Prieto plans to move forward with a new restaurant, Prime STQ, in Research Triangle Park after a lawsuit was filed by his business partner.

The co-owner of Prime Barbecue, Fred Von Canon, is suing Prieto, alleging he improperly used the business’ name, recipes and resources to develop the separate venture.

Prieto disputes those allegations.

Jaccob Slavin is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit.

Wilders is grateful to be featured in the October 2026 issue of Carolina Cattle Connection as part of their spotlight on Wagyu! 🥩

Our article takes a look back at the Got to Be N.C. Chef Weekend at our farm, where chefs from across North Carolina gathered to experience Wilders Wagyu firsthand. From touring the farm and learning about how we raise our cattle to sharing meals featuring our 100% Fullblood Wagyu beef and Berkshire pork, the weekend brought chefs, producers, and partners together around a shared passion for quality food and North Carolina agriculture.

Thank you to Carolina Cattle Connection for sharing this experience and helping us tell the Wilders story, and to the chefs and partners who made that weekend possible!

🎉A winning partnership for @primestq 👉🏼 Carolina Hurricanes 2026 Stanley Cup champion @jslavin74 joins @christopher_prieto as his new business partner @primestq 🎉💯🔥

The @primebbq-meets-steakhouse concept is opening in @horseshoertp in Spring 2027 👏🏻

“Partnering with Jaccob is one of the most meaningful moments of my career because it’s rooted in a friendship and shared faith that shapes how we think about serving others,” said Prieto. “From the first time we met, we connected over a desire to be good stewards of our time and talents and to build a lasting legacy in our community that extends beyond our individual professions. Through Prime STQ, we have an opportunity to put those shared values into action and create a place where everyone feels genuinely welcome at our table.”

Slavin helped lead the USA Men’s Hockey team to its first Olympic gold medal in 46 years at the 2026 Winter Olympics before going on to win the Stanley Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes just months later, making him the second American to claim both honors in the same year. A longtime Hurricanes alternate captain, he will take a behind-the-scenes role in the partnership, supporting Prieto as a business partner and friend. This marks Slavin’s first venture into the restaurant industry, and further deepens his family’s roots in the Triangle, the community that has embraced them throughout his more-than-decade-long NHL career.

“Chris and I share the same Christian values and work ethic, and that common foundation is what makes this partnership so meaningful,” said Slavin. “My family and I love this community. It’s why we choose to stay here year-round, it truly feels like home. Being part of Prime STQ gives us another way to show up for people, pour into this community, and live out the values that we are called to live.”
