LTL Weekly: 7 Must-Try Burgers, Hudson’s on the Bend is Back & The Weekend Roundup

Written by Todd Hower | January 26, 2018

Get ready for the weekend, because it’s Friday!

Want to celebrate with a flight of handcrafted brew? Head out to Family Business Beer Company to enjoy beer and bites with a family-friendly, Texas-style vibe.

In case you missed us …

This real winter weather has us hankerin’ for hamburgers. What about you? On Thursday, we listed 7 must-try Lake Travis area burgers. Did your favorite spot make the list?

In other news …

The Backyard development captured headlines once again because the developers are now suing Bee Cave. They filed a $50 million lawsuit against the city of Bee Cave, the Mayor Pro Tem and city council members.

It looks like longtime Hill Country restaurant Hudson’s on the Bend is being given a third life after closing suddenly last February 2017. The new owners are looking to reopen the restaurant with a slightly different name — Hudson’s Hill Country — in mid-March.

Have a great weekend, Lake Travis!
