Can a logo change really spark national outrage—and is there a professional crime ring targeting Austin restaurants?

In this episode of The JB and Sandy Show, Sandy, Tricia, and JB dive into two wildly different but equally captivating stories: the Cracker Barrel branding debacle and a string of high-stakes burglaries hitting local Austin businesses. The show kicks off with a deep (and surprisingly passionate) discussion about Cracker Barrel’s decision to revert to its classic logo featuring Uncle Hershel. The team explores the backlash, the cultural nostalgia, and the cinnamon-apple-fueled memories that make the restaurant a Southern staple. Tricia, a lifelong Cracker Barrel fan, shares her go-to comfort meal and defends the peg game with the kind of fervor usually reserved for politics. Then, the tone shifts as Tricia reports on a disturbing trend: a series of professional burglaries across Austin, including a dramatic heist at Habana Restaurant. With over 60 break-ins in the area since 2020, the team speculates on whether this is the work of a coordinated crime ring—and what it means for local business owners. Key moments include:

• 🪑 The Cracker Barrel logo controversy and the return of Uncle Hershel
• 🥧 Tricia’s ultimate comfort food order (spoiler: it includes chocolate pie and Dr. Pepper)
• 🕵️‍♂️ A possible organized crime ring targeting Austin restaurants
• 🧠 A nostalgic debate over Hostess vs. Little Debbie (and the peg game’s sacred status)
• 🎧 A shout-out to The Stampede podcast featuring Vince Young and Coach Mack Brown
