Fundraiser for Dell Children's


This past Thursday, UT Dance Marathon and the Texas Lassos hosted a fundraiser for Dell Children's Medical Center on the Back Porch. Lee County Line, an up and coming TX country band played and we were flippin burgers on the outdoor grill. Everything went great except for a few instances when our not-so-friendly neighbor called the cops on us for having a band. I thought this was Austin, the live music capital....and it was for charity. Anyway, I won't get on that subject.

I love hosting fundraisers so if anyone has any great ideas, send them to me. We can plan one together!

This Just In! Buffalo Chicken Addicts


Are you obsessed with buffalo sauce or know anyone who is? I happen to have two close friends (identities not disclosed for the protection of those involved) who crave buffalo sauce everyday. Quote from anonymous "I wake up every morning craving buffalo sauce. It's an obsession I cant control...." Well there you have it folks, real life, real people and real issues.

If you or any of your loved ones needs their fix, please call 512-432-5390 and The Hub's friendly staff will be there to take your order.

See picture of our crispy (never soft) wings covered in our very own sauce. You may leave asking yourself, "Am I in Austin or Buffalo?"

*Disclaimer: The Hub is not responsible for any addiction that may develop due to our mouth-watering chicken wings. Please consume at your own risk.

Meet Our GM

Ohhhh what to say about Chris...we fight like brother and sister but at the end of the day, we make up and get our work done. I think it's important to work with someone who can call you out and vice versa then you move on and go from there.

Chris is an important part of The Hub. He keeps it going, works long hours and has to put up with us emotional Utt women. We love having him in the family and I can't wait to see what comes next.

1. Where did you grow up? Chicago, Hyde Park to be specific (we have a nice neighbor):)
2. What's your favorite part about working at The Hub? The interactions with our guests, from our daily regulars to first timers. Being a part of a real family at The Hub, from working with the owners everyday, going to their house for Thanksgiving, to training each new employee. It's a true pleasure to come to work.
3. If you had $10,000 what would you do with it? As this point, donate it to The University of Texas to help keep the Cactus Cafe open!
4. If you could have lunch with a professional athlete, who would it be? Although he's passed on it would be Ted Williams, he was my father's hero.
5. If Guy Fieri came to The Hub, what would you suggest he try? WHEN Guy comes into the Hub, no brainer, The 24 oz Hubmongous Burger. Good Answer!
