GALVANIZED BY DRAG performer Duckie DuJour, more than 30 teams gathered in Montrose to build one-of-a-kind gingerbread houses — for a cause.
At the Kindred Montrose church, the seventh annual competition, benefiting the local nonprofit Grace Place, was the biggest yet. Entries included homages to television shows Wednesday, The White Lotus and Yellowstone, plus Dolly Parton, naturally, and other icons. The winner was titled “Grinch Please,” a multi-tiered, table-length depiction of Grinch ascending Mount Crumpit.
Grace Place is a Houston based non-profit who empowers youths of all sexualities and gender identities who are experiencing homelessness. “Grace Place is a special organization, and it’s only able to exist because of the generosity of our Houston community,” said President of the Board of Directors Natalie Ferguson, “and we are incredibly grateful for everyone’s support this year.”

This Just In: America’s Best Burger Finds Brick-and-Mortar Home in Heart of Montrose
Marco Torres
Dec. 14, 2022
THE CORNER OF Richmond and Shepherd is famously home to a long-empty James Coney Island (RIP). But the prime piece of real estate, which includes a drive-through, will soon be transformed into the first brick-and-mortar location of Bun B’s celebrated Trill Burgers, which has garnered tons of praise since its first pop-up in 2021.
The news caps an eventful year for Trill Burgers, which won the title of the best burger in the country on Good Morning America’s weeklong, televised cookoff competition in July. The fall was filled with pop-ups where the signature smashburgers — 44 Farms beef, onions, pickles and Trill Sauce — flew off the grills at locations like 8th Wonder, City Hall and the Southern Smoke Festival.
Bun B himself is a mainstay at the pop-ups, and Houstonians can be sure they’ll see his face at the permanent location when it opens early next year.
