Ep. 40: what's new in Austin restaurants with Matthew Odam

ALSO: Ahead of Austin Lemonade Day, several lemonade entrepreneurs, including second-graders Rowan Briscoe and Joey Svoboda, came to the studio to talk about their business strategies and lemonade recipes. Westlake High School students (and brothers) Sidharth and Rohit Srinivasan, who participated in Lemonade Day when they were in elementary school, explained how a low-stakes business like a lemonade stand helped them launch a full business, Trashbots, which makes and delivers low-cost science and engineering kits to students around the globe. Plus, Eric Webb shares in this week’s Webb Report his list of the top Austin tourist attractions and which ones he thinks are totally overrated. (Sorry, bats.) In our Toast recommendations: the 2016 cat documentary, “Kedi,” the Joule sous vide cooking gadget and the "No More Safe Harbor" episode of “Reply All.” More info: austin360.com/loveaustin360 Learn more about your ad choices.
