Mike Brinkman - Owner
Mike Brinkman attained the name "Uncle Pookie" from one of his grand nephews, Roland, at a family party. When it came time to name his new BBQ team, “Uncle Pookie” came to mind quickly. With so many family and children around, he knew the team name had to be family friendly. That’s how the name "Uncle Pookie & the Riblets" got it's start
