Pok-E-Jo’s co-owner Danny Haberman: What’s in Your Fridge Friday?

dannyhaberman.jpg
It’s coming up on 30 years since Danny Haberman and Doug Bohne started Pok-E-Jo’s in Austin in a spot on Burnet Road. That location is long gone, but they’ve got five stores now (the West Fifth Street location closed last year) and do a hefty amount of catering all around Central Texas. It’s Danny’s family’s recipes that inspired many of the side dishes still served today.

When he isn’t hopping from store to store, making sure the brisket’s pulling apart just right, Danny’s helping preparing for what will sure to be a busy holiday season, especially with this deal they have to buy a whole turkey dinner for 56 bucks.

What three things are always in your fridge? The three B’s: Brisket, Beer and BBQ sauce.

What’s your favorite condiment? I know I’m biased, but the Pok-e-Jo’s BBQ sauce is truly my favorite.

What’s your favorite thing to do with leftover Pok-e-Jo’s turkey or ham? A smoked turkey sandwich on Texas toast topped with melted cheddar cheese.

They are one of my favorite BBQ spots in Austin. I like that they had low-carb sides and even some stuff for the veggie eaters. I miss the live music at the 5th Street location.

I have also found their staff to be a pretty friendly bunch, which matters a lot to me.

I can’t help noticing how much these shelves of food resemble my personal food pyramid.
