This Just In: America’s Best Burger Finds Brick-and-Mortar Home in Heart of Montrose

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.

At High-Energy Holiday Ball, O&G Pros Raise More than $1M for At-Risk Youth

IT’S NO SURPRISE that Houston’s high-powered energy execs threw a, well, energetic holiday bash. The 48th annual Spindletop Holiday Ball, held at the Post Oak Hotel, hosted more than 600 industry professionals from companies like ConocoPhillips, Murphy Oil Corporation and others for a festive fete benefiting local at-risk youth.
At the candy-coated “Baking Spirits Bright”-themed event, the Ensemble Theatre Young Performers kicked things off with a riveting dance number, while Virtuosi provided the holiday-happy classical soundtrack during dinner. A silent auction touted covetable items like a sailing trip, Rockets tickets, restaurant packages and more. The lively band Password had everyone on their feet toward the end of the evening, dancing and cheering for the evening’s total till of $1.1 million. (Plus hundreds of toys donated to the Spindletop Toy Drive!)
Spindletop Community Impact Partners is a philanthropic organization that supports other nonprofits through funding and volunteering from the energy industry. Some of the causes it champions include child-abuse prevention, human trafficking prevention, and education and after-school programs. This year, Spindletop will make contributions to TEACH, YMCA, Kids Meals, Camp for All and dozens of other local organizations.
