📋 Can a cafeteria chain from your childhood become the next big thing for Gen Z?

In this episode of The JB and Sandy Show, Sandy, JB, and Tricia dive into the surprising resurgence of Luby’s in downtown Austin—and why younger generations might be the key to its comeback. From retro cravings to early dinners and knitting obsessions, the crew explores how today’s youth are living like it’s 1975. But the conversation takes a sharp turn when Tricia shares the viral story of a millionaire CEO who snatched a signed hat from a child at the US Open. The internet erupted—and so did the JB and Sandy crew. Thankfully, a heartwarming twist (and a story from Japan that will restore your faith in humanity) brings balance to the chaos.
