But Mama Jo’s will keep some of Steve’s fan favorites in addition to its own Southern cooking
Ben and Jodi Polson own Mama Jo’s Biscuits & BBQ, a former food struck that will open at 3525 E. Colfax Ave., in the former Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs.
“We know a lot of people are upset that Steve’s is closing, we’re one of them,” added Jodi, who will soon be transitioning out of her role as Coperta’s executive pastry chef. Remaining true to Carolina barbecue is key for the couple. “Texas is mainly known for brisket, and Carolina is known for pulled pork. We put a dry rub on the pork and hickory smoke it for eight hours until it’s tender, then we dress it with a spicy vinegar sauce,” Ben explained. The jackfruit goes through the same process.
In terms of decor, Mama Jo’s plans to paint Steve’s classic yellow and red walls white and infuse some of their farmhouse-inspired charm into the space. The idea is to make guests feel like they’re at their mom’s house, with vintage touches like CorningWare and Pyrex dishes. Jodi, who has experience with large-scale mural work, also plans to paint a mural featuring farm animals.
