New Food for MLS All-Star Game

NEW YORK (July 15, 2025) – To celebrate 2025 MLS All-Star in Austin, Major League Soccer (MLS) is teaming up with hip-hop legend and Trill Burgers entrepreneur Bun B of UGK and Austin hometown BBQ heroes and Michelin-star restaurant La Barbecue for a bold culinary collaboration – the “Game On Burger.”

Crafted exclusively for MLS All-Star, the Game On Burger is a powerhouse of Southern flavor and hometown pride. A juicy Trill Burgers pork belly patty is stacked with La Barbecue’s crispy pulled pork, zesty house-made pickles, crunchy slaw, and a bold drizzle of signature BBQ sauce. The burger is all brought together with a smoky-sweet Trill mustard crema—delivering an all-star lineup of flavor in every bite.

In addition, fans can catch the MLS x Trill Burgers co-branded food truck—custom-wrapped by local Austin muralist and cultural storyteller Efren Rebugio, Jr.—as it makes its way through key MLS All-Star Week events. Stops include Soccer Celebration (July 19–20), the MLS NEXT All-Star Game (July 21), and Sneaker Politics (July 22), where MLS All-Star merchandise will be available. Throughout the week, the truck will dish out bold flavors–including the Game On Burger, Trill Burgers’ signature OG and Vegan OG smash burgers, fries and bottled drinks– along with local pride, and a full serving of unfiltered fandom. It marks the first pop-up in Austin for Trill Burgers, which was named America’s best burger by “Good Morning America” in 2022.

“Major League Soccer’s All-Star game is bringing the best athletes and fans in the sport to the city of Austin,” Bun B said. “Trill Burgers is proud to be a part of hosting them all and making sure they enjoy themselves with great entertainment and great food!”

"We’re honored to be part of this collaboration with Trill Burgers for the MLS All-Star event," said Ali Clem, owner of la Barbecue. “At La Barbecue, we’ve always believed that great food brings people together, and partnering with Bun B and his team is a perfect reflection of that spirit. It’s exciting to welcome the MLS community to Austin and to share the flavors that make Austin so special.”
