    Hudson's Grill Announces the Formation of a New Subsidiary
       And the Termination of its Contract with Dalms, Inc.

    Monday, December 15, 1997
    
    
    Dallas, TX -  Hudson's Grill of America, Inc., announced that
on December 1, 1997, it had transferred most of its assets to
Hudson's Grill International, Inc., a new subsidiary recently
incorporated in Texas.  Hudson's Grill International will only
assume a limited portion of Hudson's Grill of America's
liabilities -- i.e., those associated with the operation of its
headquarters in Dallas, Texas.  Hudson's Grill International will
continue the franchising and building of Hudson's Grill
restaurants that was formerly done by Hudson's Grill of America. 
Hudson's Grill of America currently plans to spin off Hudson's
Grill International to Hudson's Grill of America's shareholders
sometime next year, and it is currently contemplating registering
Hudson's Grill International's stock to enable public trading in
the stock.

     The change in corporate structure reflects Hudson's Grill of
America's strong connection to Texas, where its headquarters has
been for the last four years and where its largest shareholders
reside, and the new name of its business reflects the
international scope of its business.  Once Hudson's Grill
International is successfully spun off to its shareholders,
management plans to recommend to its shareholders that they vote
to dissolve what is left of Hudson's Grill of America.

     Hudson's Grill also announced that as of December 31, 1997,
it had terminated its consulting agreement with Dalms, Inc., which
had provided the services of Thomas A. Sacco, Senior Vice
President and Director, to the company.  Dalms, Inc., may continue
providing services to Hudson's Grill on a commission or hourly
basis, and talks are underway between Hudson's Grill and Dalms to
see if an understanding can be made.  Hudson's Grill International
has hired Tony Nardizzi, who will supervise the  operations of
company owned restaurants and monitor the operations of franchised
restaurants.

    Hudson's Grills of America is celebrating its 13th year of
operation, and the company is publicly traded over the counter
under the NASDAQ symbol HDSG.
