When chef Chris Shepherd wanted to spice up his James Beard Award-winning Houston eatery Underbelly, which celebrates the city’s Southern cuisine, he turned to an unlikely person: local rapper Bun B, whom he asked to curate the wine list. “I brainstormed and thought, ‘I know wine “Front, Back and Side to Side,” like the UGK song.’ ” says Shepherd, 42, referring to Bun B’s duo with the late Pimp C. “That’s when the light went off.” In honor of his latest collab, Bun B, 42, finds the right drink for every occasion.
