Houston rapper Bun B's Trill Burgers has been named winner of Good Morning America's "United States of Burgers" competition, giving his burgers the title of best burger in America. The announcement came Friday morning ( 7/29) in Times Square, New York where Bun and Trill Burger's chef Mike Pham squared off against finalists Lucky's Last Chance, The Companion and Babes Meat Counter.

Trill Burgers received three out of the five votes from the judges, who included celebrity chef Gina Neely, former NFL running back Tiki Barber, former NBA player Jalen Rose, WWE wrestler Titus O'Neal and ABC anchor Sam Champion.

"It's so surreal that it doesn't make sense" said Bun B. "To be in Times Square having won the best burger in America live on Good Morning America, it's not even in the realm of things that we would have imagined for this brand. We just wanted to put in hard work and be justified for what we did , and today we got the ultimate validation. I can't wait to bring this burger to America."

Trill Burgers has operated largely as a pop-up restaurant since their 2021 launch, but there are plans to open a brick and mortar location this year. Trill Burgers will hold its next pop up at the Rock The Bells Festival in Queens, N.Y. on August 6. The pop-up will be part of the Trill Mealz Food Court which contains food and beverages from other rap artists such as Nas' Sweet Chick, Ghostface Killah's Killah Koffee, E-40's Goon With The Spoon, Mia X's Team Whip Them Pots and Jadakiss and Styles P's Juices For Life. The food court be be curated by Bun B.
