Trump Burger is a tourist attraction, monument to the former president located an hour from Houston
In Bellville, about an hour or so northwest of Houston, Trump Burger is your standard burger joint with the added twist of being a monument to former U.S. President Donald Trump. It’s hard to miss in person: Pro-Trump banners and American flags hang from the side of the patio deck. Front and center, atop the restaurant’s name, is an illustration of the 45th president.
The restaurant’s owner is Roland Beainy, a second-generation Lebanese-American who loves Donald Trump. “Being an immigrant from a place where everything is bad and you work for almost $200, you see somebody like him to support the country and get the economy doing better. Me being an entrepreneur, I appreciate what he did,” Beainy said. In 2020, Austin County, where Bellville is located, reported 78.7 percent of the population voted for Trump.
Bellville resident Brian Hajek was there for a burger on a recent weekday. The restaurant is close to his work and home. Hajek said weekends at Trump Burger can get jam packed. “I thought they’d be out of business after the elections, but you come here on the weekend, you see a big line of motorcycles, sports cars and antiques and Trump flags,” Hajek said. “They’re all from out of town.”
The restaurant is not connected to the Trump Organization, but, according to Beainy, a portion of the restaurant’s profits go toward Trump’s fundraising campaign.
The article contains several pictures, including the restaurant's buns, which bear the name of Trump.

Nah, wouldn't eat there for lunch. It was a 55 minute drive from my house in Cypress (where I no longer live).
We did make the drive for diner (on 9/7/2020, I checked my records). My wife, son, and I took the scenic route that Sunday and had dinner. Pretty good burgers, though I'd of preferred mine cooked a little more, over coals. The fries and onion rings were excellent. I tried to get my son to take a pictue next to the Trump cutout, but he wouldn't.
It looked like a Trump campaign HQ. You could buy pretty much any Trump swag you wanted. A little surpirsed it is still open. Seemed like an election year novelty. Not surprised the Houston Chronicle writes an article about it 2 years after it opens.

I thought this was an amusing article and posted it. There wasn't anything overtly political in what I said. Flock shows his obsession with me once again.

Being the subject of this personal ad-hominem attack, I think my opinion would matter the most.
I thought it kind of funny and took no offense. Saucy, Beebs, and Flock, y'all need to loosen the knobs in your panties. I don't think SSS meant offense so I didn't take any. It's a frickin' burger joint. In Bellville, TX. I've been there thrice. Once to help my daughter show a steer, once to look at bluebonnets, and once to try the novelty Trump Burger. I'm pretty hard to offend, even when the person is trying. And I don't think SSS was trying. Only to raz a little.

Good to hear he didn't offend you. I'm not very easily offended either, but when someone makes it their mission in life to try to offend me, it gets old after a while.

Oh Lord, don't. They'll take that as a challenge. I'm accepting they have no lower limit.

Did the steer show up on the next month's menu?
And I did not intend this thread as anything but a bit of humor about an unusual dining establishment near where BiT lives (near being a relative term in Texas).

Fortunately for him, no. He was purchsed by her orthodontist to be an "ag exemption" on his small ranch. I doubt he is stil alive but he was able to live much longer than most of the steers raised by my daughter's peers.

Look what showed up in my EFB memories for today.
Looks like I was a day off on when I thought we went.

That will give you a Trumpian waistline.
