Last June, the burger joint’s owners were fighting a legal battle when a Harris County judge issued a temporary injunction against co-owners Bernard “Bun B” Freeman, Andy Nguyen and Nick Scurfield, mandating asset restrictions and prohibiting self-payments or equity transfers.
But now, the chain has a second location at 6810 Louetta Road in North Houston.
Announcing the news through an Instagram post with A$AP Ferg’s New Level playing in the background, it has caused quite the stir! SEVERAL cars had lined up to grab a quick bite from the drive-thru. It was POPPING, ngl.
Can you believe two more locations are promised in Missouri City and on Westheimer Road?
As an education reporter, I must add: Bun B seems interested in partnering with Historically Black Colleges and Universities, too!
When asked about the joint’s partnership with the University of Houston and whether he wants to expand that to historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), he said HBCUs lack funding for endeavors like that, but he’d love to take that up in the future.
Despite the legal woes, Trill Burgers keeps growing. There’s a lesson in there somewhere!
Shondaland hits the whodunit spot with “The Residence”
A maverick Black detective in a whodunit at the White House? SIGN ME UP!
Listen, I love a good detective series. When I was a kid, Nancy Drew and Hercule Poirot were my heroes! Wait…is that why I became a journalist? Okay, that’s a story for another day.
Inspired by Kate Andersen Brower’s book “The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House,” Shondaland’s latest Netflix series delves into the lives of those who run the White House while its leaders are busy running the country.
I loved every second of it. The mystery is generously packed into eight episodes, starting with the crazy murder of White House Chief Usher A.B. Wynter during the Australian State Dinner.
What follows is a montage of scenes going back and forth over several months, dotted with investigations and a congressional committee hearing.
But here’s the star of the show: Cordelia Cupp, who is hailed as the best detective in the world. Played by the iconic Uzo Aduba, Cupp breaks down the case into thousands of little pieces that eventually come together in a grand finale that will leave you…well, stunned.
What really wowed me is Cupp’s grit: this woman listens to no one but herself. Pop off, queen! FBI and Secret Service, who?! PLUS, she is SO funny, but her delivery is comedic genius.
Finding Black detectives in main roles is so rare and chancing upon such complex characters will tell you we need more.
If you’re looking for a weekend binge, look no further. “The Residence” will keep you entertained!
1,000 sailors and Marines to come to Houston
Did y’all hear about the 1,000 sailors and Marines who are coming to Houston for the first time in over two centuries?
That’s right! Houston is hosting Fleet Week at the Port of Houston in November, during which the ships will interact with the public…on their ships!
The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps will celebrate their 250th birthdays in our city from Nov. 9 through 16.
This will be the perfect opportunity for anyone interested in how military ships operate because, yes, they will conduct demonstrations and other events.
In a video, U.S. Navy Adm. Daryl Caudle “formally” accepted Mayor John Whitmire’s invitation.
For young people, this could be a great way to determine whether they’ll pursue this career later in life. So, here’s a heads-up in case you want something insightful to do at the end of the year!
