Trill Tenders, co-owned by the renowned rapper and restaurateur Bun B, is set to make its inaugural appearance in Houston this Sunday, December 3, with a pop-up event outside NRG Stadium before the Week 13 NFL showdown between the Houston Texans and the Denver Broncos.
The pop-up kicks off at 9:30 a.m. and will be accessible to the public until the kickoff at 12 p.m. Trill Tenders will be stationed at the Modelo Golden Lion Tailgate, situated on the BULLevard near the Amegy Bank gate on the southeast corner of the stadium. The first 100 attendees at the Modelo tailgate will be treated to complimentary tenders; participants must be at least 21 years old to enter the tailgate. Trill Tenders will also be available for purchase outside the tailgate for fans of all ages.
Having debuted at the 2023 Tenderfest in Los Angeles in October, where it received top honors at the world's largest chicken tenders festival, Trill Tenders has been making waves. The pop-up recently appeared at ComplexCon in Long Beach, California, and offered a sneak preview to Houston residents at the Texans' Taste of the Texans fundraising event at NRG Stadium.
Featuring generously sized tenders with a crispy, lightly battered exterior and seasoned with Trill Tenders' signature seasoning, combos will be served alongside Cajun crinkle-cut fries and an array of dipping sauces. Trill Tenders, led by Bun B (Bernard Freeman) in collaboration with partners Andy Nguyen and Nick Scurfield, along with chefs Mike Pham and Fernando Valladares, continues to garner attention. Additionally, Trill Burgers, located at 3607 S Shepherd Dr., operates as a vendor within NRG Stadium in Sections 115, 135, 522, and 548 for all Texans home games.
