Lone Star Chevrolet and Paula Dean Metro Houston Cooking Show

In two weeks, foodies will descend on Houston to rub elbows with some of the finest names in cooking - names like Paula, Pepin, Giada, and Chevy.

...Chevy?

That's right - MetroCooking Houstin this year will be sponsored by none other than Lone Star Chevrolet, not only the top Chevy dealer in Houston, but one of the top Chevy dealers nationwide. They also happen to be AskPatty Certified Female Friendly®.

When we heard that Lone Star was sponsoring a cooking show, we responded with applause and enthusiasm! You may think it sounds a little odd for a car dealership to be connected to a cooking event, but when you consider Chevy's green initiatives like the new Volt, positioning themselves to talk vehicle (and planet) nutrition alongside personal nutrition doesn't seem like such a stretch at all. Members of the Lone Star Chevy team will be at the event all weekend cooking up sizzling conversation and providing some great additions to the already impressive roster of guests.

The Metropolitan Cooking & Entertaining Show is a two-day food-lover’s event featuring hundreds of exhibitors, cooking demos, tastings, workshops, book signings and appearances by Food Network celebrities. MetroCooking Houston presented by Lone Star Chevrolet & The Houston Chronicle will take place September 15-16 at Reliant Center. Highlights include appearances from Paula Deen, Jacques Pepin and Giada De Laurentiis; a Regional Cooking Stage honoring The James Beard Foundation with local chefs including Hugo Ortega, Kiran Verma, Jamie Zelko, Ronnie Killen, Michael Cordúa and Rebecca Masson; and a shopping marketplace featuring hundreds of purveyors of specialty foods and entertainment necessities plus cooking demonstrations, tastings and hands-on workshops.
