Many of you have been following Eric’s “Search for the Best Burger Joint in Austin” series, so you know how much we have to say about that! We only talk about the top two picks so far, but you can read all his reviews and decide for yourself.

Enjoy your weekend and we’ll see you next week. Smiley face.

      Oh my Linda ~blushing~ we fixed it to “her”.. I think we were laughing too hard from the podcast and we just missed that little photo caption error. Thanks for pointing it out! ~ Eric
