Feeding Elgin Like Family: The Story of Uncle Pocko's Kitchen & Smoke
In this mouth-watering episode of Hey Elgin!!, Boston Nick, Ben and Tony sit down with Nick Pocknail and Joe Mulvehill, the culinary duo behind the incredible Uncle Pocko’s Kitchen and Smoke. The guys brought a fresh batch of their amazing tacos into the studio, and between the unbelievable aroma and Tony—a dedicated low-and-slow Texas barbecue pitmaster himself—having his stomach audibly begging for a bite on mic, it was a miracle we got through the intro!
Nick and Joe share the inspiring, fun, and heartfelt story of how they connected through sobriety and teamed up to launch their soon-to-be world-famous food truck. Rooted right here in Bastrop County, Uncle Pocko’s is known for serving up huge portions of Texas-Mex-BBQ comfort food with bold flavors, quality ingredients, and fair prices, all built on their core philosophy: "Let us feed you like family."
We also get the exclusive scoop on their massive local news: starting today, just in time for the Hogeye festival, Uncle Pocko’s is officially moving operations to the heart of downtown Elgin at 101 S. Main Street! Tune in for a great conversation about food, second chances, and why you need to show up hungry to their new downtown spot.
