Episode Details

Austin’s beloved burger institution Dirty Martin’s just turned 100—and they’re celebrating with an all-day party. For a century, this iconic spot has served up legendary Kumback burgers, thick milkshakes, and onion rings, becoming a cherished memory for generations. It wasn’t always guaranteed to survive—plans for Project Connect once threatened to demolish it, sparking a citywide outcry. Thankfully, those plans changed, letting Dirty’s honor its roots: opened in 1926 by John Martin as a humble bar-and-gas-station joint with dirt floors and a deliberately misspelled sign. The nickname “Dirty’s” stuck—and today, it’s still a cornerstone of Austin’s soul.
