"A Downtown Houston soul-food restaurant sent a seriously filling backstage spread for Beyoncé and Jay‑Z during the Cowboy Carter tour stop: chef Don Bowie collaborated on the order and shared Instagram footage of Bowie with Jay‑Z, who reportedly reacted, “I wasn’t even mad, that’s how good that sh*t was.” The team ordered surf-and-turf (jerk lamb chops and deep-fried lobster), a Taste of New Orleans platter with blackened or fried catfish and shrimp, a Taste of Soul platter featuring smothered chicken with collard greens and candied yams, chicken and waffles, lobster macaroni and cheese, a side of garlic mashed potatoes, and desserts including whiskey butter cake, cheesecake, and deep-fried waffle bread pudding; Angie Beyince also posted video of the spread. Bowie called the compliment one of the best the restaurant has received, and the order followed a recommendation from JR Martins of Alife Hospitality." - Courtney E. Smith
