Houston – Internet personality IShowSpeed, known for his engaging live-streams and vibrant online presence, had a memorable experience at Bun B’s Trill Burgers during his recent tour in Houston. On this visit, he indulged in the popular smashburger, the O.G. Trill Burger, which left a significant impression on him.
IShowSpeed, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr., is currently traveling across the United States for his tour. As part of his Houston itinerary, he visited Trill Burgers, one of the fast-casual dining spots that has recently gained popularity among both locals and celebrities. The restaurant specializes in smashburgers and has two locations in the Houston area, including a newly launched second site in Spring, Texas, which features a drive-thru and can accommodate nearly 80 patrons indoors.
The excitement of IShowSpeed’s visit was palpable as he took a substantial bite of the O.G. Trill Burger. His enthusiastic reactions during the tasting included slamming his hand on the table and taking a knee in excitement while interacting playfully with Bun B, the restaurant’s co-founder. These spontaneous moments captured on his live-stream and shared across several platforms, including Instagram and YouTube, sparked conversations online regarding the quality of the burger, with many hinting it might be one of his best culinary experiences yet.
Throughout his Houston visit, IShowSpeed also engaged in various activities, adding to the day’s excitement. Notably, he faced a brief setback by reportedly getting banned from the prestigious Galleria and attempted a backflip off the Gerald D. Hines Waterwall, an iconic water feature in downtown Houston. He also had the opportunity to hang out with Houston rapper Paul Wall, enhancing the star-studded aspect of his visit.
By late evening, around 9 p.m., IShowSpeed was found contemplating his next move in River Oaks, considering a trip to Bissonnet Street. However, feeling tired from the day’s events, he opted to return to his trailer while listening to music by popular rapper Travis Scott.
Bun B’s Trill Burgers has been making waves not just among Houston locals but also among visiting celebrities who often crave a taste of Texas cuisine. Traditionally, many favor smokehouse meats, but the rise in popularity of Trill Burgers reflects a broader trend of burger appreciation. The newly opened Spring location, launched on April 25, features a vibrant atmosphere highlighted by its distinct black-and-yellow color scheme and a “Keep It Trill” neon sign. It also offers new additions to the menu, including the fresh Trill Lemonade, which first debuted at the Houston Rodeo, further contributing to the restaurant’s appeal.
In addition to the O.G. Trill Burger, the restaurant boasts a diverse menu featuring signature smash burgers, seasoned fries, and even a Vegan OG Burger, catering to a wide range of dietary preferences. This flexibility and commitment to quality have solidified Trill Burgers’ status as a go-to dining location for those exploring Houston’s food scene.
