HOUSTON – If you ask any Houstonian who their favorite local celebrity is, most will probably mention two-thirds of one of the most successful girl groups of all time -- Kelly Rowland and Beyonce Knowles. (we still love you too, Michelle Williams!)
Aside from being a busy mom and local superstar, Kelly Rowland has now teamed up with Pepsi for a fun new partnership that could turn you into a local super star just like her.
Kelly and Pepsi have just launched, “Local Eats Better With Pepsi,” giving restaurant regulars across the country a shot at foodie fame!
To launch the program, she’s sharing the story of her go-to local spot, (even pre-celeb status!) Houston This Is It Soul Food.
So after visiting the restaurant for over 25 years, what does Kelly order off the menu?
Stop in and see for yourself because her favorite meal is being immortalized on the menu as the Kelly Rowland special - featuring peppered steak, rice and gravy, green beans, peach cobbler, and an ice-cold Pepsi - for local fans to enjoy for $15 until September 24.
Pepsi is supporting local restaurants and turning their loyal regulars into hometown celebrities, giving fans a chance to be featured on a Pepsi billboard and get their own commercial online as well as have their favorite menu item renamed in their honor - just like Kelly.
From now until October 31, fans can enter to win by sharing their story at PepsiLocalEats.com.
Tune into Houston Life at 1p today as our very own resident Houstonian, Lauren Kelly - catches up with Kelly Rowland - and takes her down memory lane with a look at their middle school yearbook. (yes, they went to middle school together!)
