BJ’s just dropped their new Wagyu Burger and it’s made with a custom blend of Wagyu, brisket, and short rib topped with caramelized onions, melted gruyère, and black garlic aioli. 🍔

Definitely not your average burger order. It’s rich, flavorful, and one of those meals you actually slow down to enjoy.

And if you go, do not skip the new Biscoff Pazookie. It’s warm, gooey, and easily one of my favorite dessert specials they’ve done. 🤎

If you’re in the mood for something a little more indulgent, this is your sign to try them before they’re gone.

Austin lost one of its most magical landmarks today.

Malin’s Fountain, the 18 foot troll hidden inside Pease Park, reportedly burned down early this morning. The sculpture was created by Danish artist Thomas Dambo with the help of more than 150 Austin volunteers and had quickly become one of the city’s most loved public art installations.

If you ever visited her, you probably remember the way she sat quietly in the trees holding a bowl of water meant to remind people to care for wildlife during Austin’s brutal summers. She was built mostly from recycled and repurposed materials, including reclaimed wood from UT’s J.J. Pickle Research Campus.

People brought their kids there. Took out of town visitors there. Walked the trail just to see her tucked away in the woods.

Seeing something that brought so much joy to the city disappear overnight is heartbreaking.

No official cause has been confirmed yet.
