The new generation of rap fans’ go-to Houston representative is Megan Thee Stallion. But long before the H-town hottie was a household name, Bun B held it down for the cultural capital of the South. The “In My Trunk” rapper and mogul continues to serve his city.

Yesterday (July 12), Bun B and his restaurant Trill Burgers teamed up with grocery chain Kroger gave away 500 burgers to Houston residents impacted by Hurricane Beryl. Despite the wide net power outages, Bun B and dozens of volunteers were able to prepare and disturb the hot meal at Bethel’s Family Church.

Users online praised Bun B and his teams’ efforts to aid in the city’s recovery efforts.

“He puts the ‘Human’ in humanitarian!! Need more like him,” penned one user.

“The epitome of what a businessman should look like. The marketing is top tier, and he cares for the community because he views himself as part of the community… and them burgers GOOD lol 👏🏽 👏🏽,” wrote another.

“Texans taking care of each other,” chimed another.

“Bless them. Way to go, Texas. Take care of your own citizens first,” added another.

Today (July 13), Bun B is back at it. This afternoon Trill Burgers will give out 713 burgers and 713 bottles of water at Houston Galleria, thanks to the continued support of Kroger, and new donors Levi’s and Lone Star Tents & Events.

Bun B’s Trill Burgers Faces New $1M Lawsuit Over Allegedly Stolen Recipe

by

Bun B continues to reap the rewards of one of his most successful endeavors yet, a Houston hotspot called Trill Burgers. The restaurant is known for serving up some of the best smashburgers the city has to offer. According to two of its original co-founders, however, there’s more to Trill Burgers’ success than what meets the eye.

Brother and sister Patsy and Benson Vivares claim they were the real minds behind the restaurant’s famous burger recipe. Allegedly, they had been looking to expand the menu of their food truck Sticky’s Chicken to include new items in 2021. This is when they say they partnered with Andy Nguyen, another co-founder of Trill Burgers, to develop an original recipe for their signature smashburger. Allegedly, it was later trademarked as the “Trill Burger.”

“[The Vivareses] spent a lot of time and energy developing the recipe,” their lawyer Saad Aziz claims. “They are the ones who kind of came up with the specifics of the smashburger … Now called the OG Trill Burger.” The duo later teamed up with Bun B, who they say was supposed to help promote their new menu item. Eventually, he acted as the “face” of the iconic Trill Burger at pop-ups and beyond. They used earnings from the pop-ups to pay off debts at Sticky’s Chicken, which was suffering due to their focus on their new Trill Burgers endeavor.

The Vivareses insist all partners were aware that Trill Burgers’ earnings would be used to pay off their debts. They were later sued and accused of stealing $45K, however, after Bun B opened a permanent Trill Burgers location without them. What do you think of Bun B’s Trill Burgers being sued over an allegedly stolen recipe? Are you surprised?

Bun B Says That Trill Burger Opened Doors That Rap Never Did

by

In a recent late-February conversation with the 85 South Comedy Show, Bun B took a moment to praise his burger company Trill Burgers. The seasoned UGK member delved into his transition to becoming a restaurant owner and the liberation it has provided him in recent years. He said it opened doors that rap never opened for him. “A lot of people think this rap s–t is going to get you everywhere you want to go,” he said. “No, they want to know how you became successful. What is your skillset? What did you work hard and train to do? How does that transcribe into other spaces?”

Moreover, in a groundbreaking fusion of culture and cuisine, Bun B’s culinary venture into food has changed the game for him. Trill Burgers, a restaurant concept conceived by Bun B himself, isn’t just about serving up mouthwatering burgers. It’s about opening doors that traditional rap avenues couldn’t reach. Now, with Trill Burgers, he’s taking that ethos from the studio to the kitchen. Furthermore, he created a space where the essence of hip-hop culture is infused into every aspect of the dining experience.

Bun B Is Grateful For The Opportunities

In addition, the rapper highlighted that his restaurant, initially launched through pop-up events before establishing a brick-and-mortar presence in June, gained momentum when he leveraged his network from the music industry to secure spots at major festivals. “That’s all I needed with this burger,” he said. “Was the opportunity to cut through all the bullshit and just put the burger in front of muthaf–kas and let them try the burger,” he said. “So I took the burger everywhere that I could go.”

However, Trill Burgers isn’t just a place to grab a quick bite. It’s a celebration of the intersection between food, music, and community. From the moment you step through the doors, you’re greeted with the sounds of classic hip-hop beats and the aroma of sizzling burgers on the grill. Bun B even had the opportunity to set up a stall at Rolling Loud. He details his thankfulness in the interview. Let us know what you think! Beyond the food, Trill Burgers is making a tangible impact on the community. Bun B is committed to giving back, whether it’s through hosting events that showcase local talent or partnering with organizations to address issues like food insecurity. In doing so, he’s proving that hip-hop isn’t just about flashy cars and expensive jewelry. It’s about uplifting those who have been marginalized and using your platform to enact positive change.

Bun B On “Drink Champs”: Rapper Talks Trill Burgers & Respect In The Rap Game

by

Rapper and food entrepreneur Bun B joined Drink Champs to talk about his lengthy rap career and more pressingly, his successful Trill Burgers enterprise. “When these burgers came into my life, I was like, this is it,” Bun began. “This is what I been waiting for all my life. I haven’t felt anything like this [feeling] since probably hip hop, getting married and this,” he said. “[It aligns] with passion, it aligns with purpose. It makes me wanna be present in the moment and learn sh-t,” Bun B explained.

Furthermore, he discussed what he believes is the reason behind its viral success. “Not only was it the best burger I had ever had by far, but it was one of the best meals I had ever had. That’s why people keep coming back to Trill Burgers. Because it’s so satisfying. And the flavor and the taste and the product has been consistent. We’ve broken every record. Every music festival we’ve ever been to, we’ve broken every single day and weekend vendor record anybody’s ever had. It’s not only an incredible food product, but it has 30 years of trill culture built into it. So there’s residual benefits to not just buying the burger but supporting the brand,” he continued.

Bun B Explains Earning Respect In Rap

Elsewhere, Bun B reflected on getting love from old-school rappers such as Chuck D and Flava Flav. “When my OGs show love like that, it’s only right that I be as gracious. I had to fight to get there, but there were people with their foot in the door, holding it open for me. And they appreciate the way that I came in and the way I represented the culture and it’s so fulfilling because before there was any more, cars and mansions and all of that, you wanted rappers that was nice to say that you was nice. And I’ve been able to say that pretty much everybody I looked up to as an artist, looks at me as a real rapper. I’m really out here doing my thing and that’s an amazing thing to carry,” he explained.

Furthermore, he highlighted several artists who are carrying the legacy of Pimp C. “Megan Thee Stallion embodies a lot of what Pimp C represented. I think that’s why it was so jarring for people to see it coming from a woman. I think Club God, BeatKing, I think he’s talking about a lot of the crazy, nasty sh-t Pimp would be talking about. I think there’s a lot of people that carry his beliefs, like [Big] Krit. Krit carries this passion of making Southern musical production at a very high level. Killer Mike has the care and concern of his community and his people that Pimp had,” he explained.

Drake is currently running around Houston for his It’s All A Blur tour. Houston legend Bun B pulled up to one of the shows and celebrated the show Drake put on.

“If at all possible, do NOT miss your chance to see the @champagnepapi It’s All A Blur tour,” Bun B wrote on Instagram. “Da Boy gives a hell of an experience. I was thoroughly impressed with the production value and the performances from @centralcee @zackbia and @21savage as well. You killed it bruh!”

Drake made a trip to Houston in June and during his visit, he pulled up on his OG Bun B to try Trill Burgers. A video from inside show Bun B greeting The Boy at the door and sitting down with him as he drives into the burger.

Trill Burgers founded by legendary rapper Bun B, officially opened its first brick-and-mortar location on June 7th. The restaurant, situated at 3607 S Shepherd Dr. at Richmond Avenue in Montrose, spans over 3,236 square feet and will serve as an extended pop-up venue for six months while Trill Burgers continues its search for a permanent establishment in Houston. Initially, the restaurant will operate during soft opening hours, seven days a week, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., with further hours to be announced.

“It’s been a dream for us, and it’s actually coming true,” Bun B said. “It’s been our sole goal to open up an establishment where we can serve you guys Trill Burgers consistently at a high level on a daily basis. And now we’re ready to do it. We are now officially open for business, ready to serve you.”

Trill Burgers’ opening menu will feature the same signature items that have garnered acclaim during its pop-ups and events since its inception in 2021. This includes the OG Burger, consisting of two smashed all-beef patties, Trill Sauce, pickles, caramelized onions, and American cheese on a potato roll bun. Additionally, a Vegan OG Burger with vegan cheese, vegan mayonnaise, and seasoned fries will be available. The new location will also introduce triple and single-patty options, such as the Triple OG, Triple Vegan OG, Baby G, and Vegan Baby G kids meals. Chef partners Mike Pham and Fernando Valladares are collaborating on developing additional menu items, which will be unveiled during Trill Burgers’ grand opening in the upcoming weeks.

The brick-and-mortar establishment will operate on a cashless system and currently offers dine-in and walk-up ordering services, accommodating up to 125 guests. A drive-thru service will be introduced in the near future. Customers are advised that Trill Burgers does not provide online or phone ordering options, nor is it affiliated with any third-party delivery services or apps. As an exclusive in-store fountain drink provider, Trill Burgers has partnered with the Texas-based beverage brand Dr Pepper.

Doug Freedman from United Equities facilitated the acquisition of the location for Trill Burgers, while the interior buildout was carried out by Houston-based Luria Construction, led by Aaron Lewis. The site was formerly occupied by one of Houston’s oldest James Coney Island locations, adding a touch of history to Trill Burgers’ new venture.

“I’ve been lucky to open more than a dozen fast-casual concepts, and nothing surpasses the love I have seen for Trill Burgers,” co-founder Andy Nguyen said. “When Bun, Nick Scurfield and I first launched this concept almost two years ago, we knew we had something special on our hands. Now it’s time to take it to the next level.”

And for those relishing luxury suite experiences, Trill Burger Packages will be available for convenient ordering.

The tantalizing NRG menu will showcase Trill’s award-winning OG Burger, crowned “Best Burger in America” on Good Morning America in 2022, alongside the Vegan OG Burger crafted with Impossible patties and vegan cheese. With seasoned fries and refreshing drinks completing the lineup, Texans fans are set to savor a winning combination of football and flavors this season.

Bun B’s legendary status in the game just got a new representative in addition to his incredible discography: the best burger you’ll ever have. Moreover, that’s how the Houston legend promotes his restaurant Trill Burgers in the city, which has seen a whole lot of success. Most recently, the location welcomed a distinguished guest who calls the 50-year-old MC his mentor and brother. Drake pulled up to the burger joint and affirmed that it was, indeed, a fantastic meal, even taking the time to post about it on his Instagram Story for his followers to know about it and go if they’re in the Houston area.

Of course, this isn’t the first time that a current rap giant has shouted out the shoulders that they stand on’s restaurant. For example, a clip went viral earlier in the year of Bun B chopping it up with Tyler, The Creator and giving him the Trill Burgers experience. Not only was it quite the surreal link-up for hip-hop fans, but the Hawthorne, California native also agreed that it was a great burger.

Furthermore, Drake and Bun B go way back, sharing a couple of collaborations and having a lot of respect for each other since the 6 God’s career began, with Bun being one of his earliest advocates. In fact, the UGK pioneer labeled the Canadian superstar a top ten artist in the game back in 2019. “In terms of lyricism?” he asked Billboard while speaking on So Far Gone‘s 10-year anniversary. “Impact, delivery- a lot of people who are in the top 10 had ghostwriters as well. I want to say he’s top 10. There will be very few artists who will ever be as impactful as Drake is. Game-changing. Someone that literally has consistently increased, and there hasn’t been a decline in music from him yet. The music keeps getting better, and it’s always ahead of the curve.”

“He may jump on the remix of a hot record, but he’s not trying to do musically what everyone else is doing,” he continued. “It’s always a different approach, but then he can also come back and do something and incorporate the New Orleans sound and not seem like he’s being a cultural appropriator. He can incorporate some Houston elements without being a cultural appropriator. It’s a beautiful way of being an artist and a fan, and being able to express both of those.” For more news and the latest updates on Drake and Bun B, log back into HNHH.
