    Staple Houston diner and Shaboozey star in new F1-themed TV commercial

    One of Houston’s favorite diners is the setting for a new commercial. Eagle-eyed viewers will recognize the Westheimer location of House of Pies in the clip for Visa Cash App.

    The commercial stars country star Shaboozey and comedian Caleb Pressley. Over a meal that includes pancakes and a sandwich — no word on whether they also grabbed a slice of Bayou Goo — the two entertainers discuss Pressley’s attempt to adopt Shaboozey’s signature tortoise shell look. In the end, the singer pays the bill with his tortoise shell prepaid CashApp Via card.

    Here’s the commercial, which will air nationally alongside Sunday’s United States Grand Prix that will take place at Circuit of the Americas in Austin.

    The commercial’s Houston setting isn’t included in the final shot, as both Shaboozey and Pressley look out to a desert landscape where both a horse and the CashApp-sponsored Red Bull F1 car are parked outside.

    “Having Visa, Shaboozey, and Caleb Pressley stop by to film a nationwide commercial was one of the most fun and exciting events we have ever had in the history of House of Pies,” owner George Khalef said in a statement. “Our Westheimer location literally turned into a Hollywood set for a day. We had such a great time hosting everybody. It’s an experience our staff will never forget, and we look forward to having more commercials filmed at our locations in the future!”

    Of course, Shaboozey is no stranger to Houston. The singer was present when Post Malone left a Houston waitress a $20,000 tip.

    The next step in a downtown hotel’s renovation and expansion is taking shape. A new rooftop restaurant called The Perch will open next year at the JW Marriott Houston Downtown.

    Open for lunch, happy hour, and dinner, The Perch will serve as a complement to the hotel’s new rooftop pool. Details on the menu are light, but diners can expect “a range of thoughtful dishes that highlight Houston’s diverse culinary influences,” according to a release.

    Chef Rafael Gonzalez will lead the kitchen. His resume includes a stint as executive chef at Quattro, the Italian restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel Houston that closed in 2020 and was replaced by pan-Latin steakhouse Toro Toro.

    Earlier this year, the hotel announced that it is adding the adjacent Battelstein’s Building at 812 Main to its existing footprint. In addition to adding the Perch and a rooftop pool, the expanded hotel will have more meeting rooms and a new restaurant on the ground floor. When the expansion is complete, the JW Marriott will have a total of 384 guest rooms (an increase of 56), including 89 suites.

    Currently, the JW Marriott occupies the historic, 22-story Samuel F. Carter Building at 806 Main. The hotel opened in 2014.
