by

As a long-time admirer of Kelly Rowland‘s versatile talent, I find myself deeply moved by her heartfelt tribute to This Is It, a Houston eatery that holds special significance in her life. The warmth and hospitality she experienced there have left an indelible mark on her heart, making it more than just a restaurant—it’s a cherished memory bank of shared moments with her loved ones.

Kelly Rowland, a versatile figure in Hollywood as an actor, media personality, and acclaimed singer, holds a soft spot for a well-known restaurant in Houston called This Is It. Not only is this eatery renowned for its scrumptious dishes but also attracts a significant number of high-profile celebrities from Hollywood and famous politicians. Throughout the years, This Is It has earned accolades from notable personalities such as Michelle Obama, Matthew Knowles, Tina Knowles, and Queen Bey.

 

In a recent chat with the well-known entertainment platform, People, Kelly Rowland openly shared her fondness for a specific eatery in Houston. Notably, the star of “The Seat Filler” is planning to join forces with Pepsi for a promotion of “This Is It”. This collaboration is part of Pepsi’s upcoming Local Eats Better with Pepsi initiative.

Kelly Rowland said-

“This Is It has so many memories in my heart that I share with my oldest son to this day,” 

While talking about teh hospitality, she further said-

As a devoted follower, I can tell you that Mr. Joseph, the proprietor, would frequently check in with us to see if we required anything. It was a deeply personal interaction that set his establishment apart. The fact that this Black business owner not only provided a welcoming space but also made us feel seen, cherished, and satisfied through exquisite meals, truly made a lasting impression.

At This Is It, Kelly Rowland shared that conversation during meals was something she typically avoided. She elaborated on this point.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but reminisce about those days, when fellowship reigned supreme. We were on our way from church, sparking conversations that spanned the entire cosmos, though they often revolved around what we had heard in church and childish antics, for we were still children back then.

During an interview with People, the 43-year-old singer `even went on to say- 

“Every dish in This Is It is mouthwateringly delicious, but the green beans in particular transport me back to my mother’s cooking. The peppered steak with rice and gravy feels like a hug, overflowing with warmth and love. The peach cobbler sends me into a blissful state, almost out-of-body. To top it off, a really cold Pepsi completes the meal, making it an extraordinary experience.”

According to Pepsi’s campaign rules, individuals residing within the United States can submit their preferred local restaurants through PepsiEatsLocal.com by October 31st, 2024. If chosen for the campaign, these eateries will gain advertising with their name and a special dish, which will be available for free for a specified duration.

Kelly Rowland personally produced a commercial for her preferred Houston restaurant, which was shot at the location known as “This Is It”. She herself mentioned this fact.

“Tasting that peach cobbler once more felt like being magically whisked away. It’s been a long time since I last had it, and it was so delicious that my eyes involuntarily rolled back in pure enjoyment.”

She further said-

Initially, I considered launching a breakfast eatery. However, when I shared the potential name with my friends, I swiftly reconsidered my decision.

While talking about the interiors and furniture of This Is It, Kelly Rowland even said-

Initially, I had planned to create an entire space using wood, making it exceptionally beautiful. However, they responded with a firm ‘no’. I suggested that by incorporating whimsical, attractive phrases such as “bottomless mimosas”, the place could have a fun, flirty vibe. Their response was a polite but firm, “Oh, please don’t take it that far.”

It’s unusual for a celebrity with such high profile to publicly endorse a restaurant enthusiastically, but Kelly Rowland does just that, and in doing so, she sets a wonderful example and shows her support for the food and drink sector.
