Today marks a notable milestone for Houston's beloved burger spot, Trill Burgers, as it celebrates its one-year anniversary since opening its physical storefront. In honor of this occasion, Trill Burgers is sharing the joy by dishing out an impressive 607 complimentary OG Trill Burgers to its customers, according to FOX26 Houston. The co-founder, the Houston rapper Bun B expressed his gratitude towards the city, "Houston, we love you, we appreciate you, and we hope to see all you guys here for that free burger on June 7."
The giveaway is set to take place at their location on the corner of Shepherd Drive and Richmond Avenue. Eager patrons can expect a first-come, first-served service model with a strict rule of one burger per present customer, and only available for to-go orders, ensuring that as many people as possible can enjoy a taste of what's become a fast favorite in the local culinary scene.
But the burgers aren't the only thing on the menu for today's anniversary bash. Revelers can look forward to more than just the seasoned beef and signature Trill Sauce that has captivated their taste buds. As Click2Houston reports, the anniversary celebration is set to feature live music from a DJ, a photo booth where attendees can capture memories, and special deals on merchandise.
Despite the festive atmosphere, the restaurant has recently been entangled in a legal skirmish, with former partners Benson and Patsy Vivares filing a temporary injunction against Bun B, real name Bernard Freeman. Their public dispute involves accusations of recipe theft and misappropriated funds, according to recent court documents. Nevertheless, fans of the establishment and its famous Trill Burger have shown undeterred support, lining up for a chance to participate in a community-focused event that highlights the restaurant's successes over the past year.
For those planning to partake in the festivities, get there early. The sheer number of free burgers mirrors the mass appeal Trill Burgers have gained in such a short amount of time. The community gathering isn't just about sinking teeth into a double-patty creation, it's about a homegrown business embracing its city, and a city that's ready to bite back in the best possible way.
