It’s a Hawaiian thing, this delicious shit you just go get at the corner store in Hawaii, with chips and Gatorade, made of cut-up chunks of raw fish usually dressed with soy sauce and green onions, but you can go from there. A few years ago, when I went to the Banzai Pipeline on the island of Oahu to do a show at the Pipe Masters surfing competition, I came home dreaming of poke. All root vegetables, really, are amazing. It’s what I always order at his restaurant Babbo-that and the octopus and five kinds of pasta. They have a sweet, earthy, rustic type of emotion.
RECIPE: Golden beet poke (from F*ck, That’s Delicious by Action Bronson and Rachel Wharton)
