My Hero Academia Is Celebrating 10 Years by Putting Bonito Flakes on Your Fries

Trill Burgers, the Houston-based craft burger restaurant that has quietly become one of the more interesting venues for anime food collaborations in the US, is celebrating My Hero Academia's 10th anniversary with a limited menu running from July 11th to August 9th. Three exclusive menu items and a co-branded T-shirt are available across all three Trill Burgers locations in Montrose, Spring, and Missouri City.

This is the kind of collaboration that lives or dies on the creativity of the menu, and based on what's been announced, Trill Burgers has put some genuine thought into it.

The Menu Is Here, And It Makes Me Want To Move

The centerpiece is The One For All Burger Combo, which takes a hamburger steak patty, covers it in demi-glazed beef gravy, American cheese, cabbage, and onion, and finishes it with a sesame-citrus dressing. It comes with Trill Burgers' seasoned fries. The naming is on the nose in the best possible way – One For All is Deku's inherited quirk, the stockpiling power passed down through generations, and a demi-glazed beef gravy burger feels appropriately loaded as a tribute to that.

The Plus Ultra Fries are the side dish and arguably the more adventurous order. Trill Burgers' in-house seasoned fries are topped with okonomi sauce, mayonnaise, Japanese furikake seasoning, and bonito flakes. Okonomi sauce and furikake on fries is a combination that should already exist everywhere and doesn't, and the decision to lean into Japanese food culture for a Japanese anime anniversary collaboration is the right call. These are the fries I'm most interested in.

The Detroit Smash Lemonade rounds out the trio – a neon green drink built from lemons, pineapple pieces, mango slices, and a kiwi syrup base. All Might's signature move rendered as a tropical lemonade is genuinely a fun interpretation, and the color alone is going to make it very photogenic.

A co-branded white unisex T-shirt is available in sizes small through 2XL at all three locations. The front carries the MHA logo alongside Trill Burgers branding, with Izuku Midoriya on the back. It's a solid design for what it is – clean, straightforward, the kind of thing fans will actually wear rather than just buy to have. The dual branding keeps it from feeling like a generic licensed shirt, and Deku is the right choice for the face of a 10th anniversary celebration.

Why Trill Burgers Is the Right Partner for This

If this is your first encounter with Trill Burgers doing anime collaborations, it won't be your last. The restaurant pulled off a Spy x Family collab in December 2025 that clearly established them as a serious player in this space rather than just a novelty. The fact that they're following it with My Hero Academia's 10th anniversary, rather than a newer or trendier property, suggests they're picking their partners deliberately rather than chasing whatever's currently most visible.

My Hero Academia has a long track record of interesting crossovers. The Overwatch 2 collaboration in October 2024 was one of the more memorable anime-game crossovers in recent years, giving players Legendary skins for Tracer as Deku, Reinhardt as All Might, Juno as Uraraka, Reaper as Shigaraki, and Kiriko as Toga – a lineup that was thoughtful in how it matched hero personalities to character archetypes.

Bucketsquad's MHA basketball collection – $85 per ball across four designs including Class 1-A, Explosion, One For All, and Half-Cold Half-Hot – is another example of the franchise licensing itself into spaces most anime series wouldn't bother. MHA consistently ends up in collaborations that feel considered rather than just cash-in adjacent.

The tenth anniversary framing gives this collaboration more weight than a standard seasonal menu drop would. MHA debuting in 2016 and reaching double digits is one of those markers that makes you realize how long the series has been part of the cultural furniture, and a food collaboration that leans into both Japanese and American culinary traditions – sesame-citrus dressing and okonomi sauce alongside seasoned fries and beef gravy – is a fitting way to mark it.

All three locations are in the Houston area, which is the obvious limitation here. If you're not in Texas, the Detroit Smash Lemonade will remain hypothetical until July 11th passes and someone's food photos start circulating. For Houston residents, this one seems worth making the trip for.
