HOUSTON, Texas - Kevin Durant, now a Houston Rocket, is partnering with Bun B in a collaboration to benefit Central Texas flooding victims.
The partnership, which comes as Durant prepares for his new season with the Houston Rockets, goes beyond just food. It's a philanthropic effort to support the community.
Proceeds from the KD and Trill Burgers collaboration will go directly to Texas Hill Country flood relief.
KD x Trill Burgers Collab
What we know:
Port Arthur native and rapper Bun B, co-founder of the Houston restaurant Trill Burgers, announced the collaboration Wednesday over Instagram.
Bun B says Durant, a former UT Longhorn, wanted his intro to the Houston Rockets to be meaningful, and the pair decided to launch a new meal and t-shirt to go towards the Texas cause.
The collaboration includes a special-edition "Easy Money" T-shirt. A portion of the proceeds from both the burger and the merchandise will be donated to the Texas Flood Relief Fund to aid victims of recent July 4 flooding.
When can I get the KD burger?
The Easy Money Meal is an homage to KD's "basic style of burger" order, and will be available starting on Friday, Aug. 15. This burger is a reflection of Durant's simple tastes, featuring a classic Trill Burgers patty with ketchup, mayonnaise, pickles, and American cheese.
The limited-time collaboration features a custom menu item called the "Easy Money Burger," named after Durant's famous nickname.
The meal will be available for one week only, Bun B says. The meal can be ordered at both the Houston and Spring locations of the restaurant.
The Trill Burgers and Kevin Durant Easy Money t-shirt will be available for pre-sale through the Trill Burgers website.
