Trill Burgers Thrills Houston's Bun B Fans

Trill:  An adjective used in hip-hop culture to describe someone who is considered to be well respected, coming from a combination of the words "true" and "real". ~ Urban Dictionary

Yes, I went to Trill Burgers to experience the now-world-famous smashburgers. Yes, I stood in the amazingly long line. I estimate there were about 80 people waiting to get in on the second day of Houston rapper Bun B's opening of his first permanent location. Yes, my mouth was watering.

Trill Burgers's new home at 3607 S. Shepherd Drive (at Richmond in the Monstrose District) is bright yellow, a beacon shining brightly from an otherwise drab but bustling intersection. And there's a bus stop right in front of the place. Location, location, location is the mantra in the restaurant industry, and Trill Burgers got it right. 

Cowboys & Indians Restaurant: Tex-Indian Fusion Confusion in Houston

Cowboys & Indians, Houston TX

I took my friend Jeff to Cowboys & Indians in Houston, Texas for his birthday recently. We both like Indian food, and of course we're big fans of Mexican and TexMex. 

There is an abundance of Indian, Mexican, and TexMex restaurants in Houston, so we were eager to experience a place that describes itself as "Indian-Tex Fusion & Cocktails" on their Facebook page and as "Indian & Texan Fusion" on their website. The atmosphere is laid back, eclectic and fun, including an attractive outdoor patio. Overall, it was a great experience, but I have a few minor criticisms.
