Fun Kelis trivia fact: Kelis is also a certified chef.
The Harlem homegirl is now bringing her culinary skills to the table as she collaborates with London burger joint, Le Bun. Entitled KELISxLEBUN will be a pop-up restaurant run by Kelis. Set up in London's Leicester Square, KELISxLEBUN will open its doors on July 6, 7, 13 and 14.
Kelis' menu will specialise in South American arepa-like buns – made from dried corn – but no further menu details have been made available as of yet. The venture came together when managers of Le Bun noted that Kelis was due to headline numerous festivals in England. Speaking to NME, Kelis revealed; “I’ve been looking forward to bringing my cooking to London for years. This July I’m over for lots of festivals and it’s the perfect time to finally make this pop up restaurant dream a reality. The Le Bun guys are the perfect partners and I can’t wait for everyone to have a taste.”
The 'Milkshake' hitmaker studied in the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu school to become a chef. She also published her first cookbook, My Life on a Plate in 2014 and has her own range of sauces called Bounty & Full. Back at the 2014 SXSW Festival, Kelis set up a food truck so she's plenty of experience flipping burgers!

And because it would be a crime not to, here's Kelis in top notch form.
