‘Insecure’ Star Issa Rae Talks Houston Restaurants, Gumbo, and Nando’s | Eater Houston

"The tour stop at a downtown performing-arts center felt like a celebration of Black joy, Houston, and Rae’s many accomplishments across television, hair care, and wine; the five-day visit in mid-January included popping into local theaters for a film premiere and using the event as a way to introduce her Prosecco brand. Audience interaction was warm and local recommendations flowed, leading her to say, "I love this city," and, "And I need to come back." - Brittany Britto Garley
