Los Angeles, CA – On this Saturday’s episode of “Welcome
to Sweetie Pie’s,” Miss Robbie Montgomery welcomes the legendary Chaka
Khan to the Upper Crust Restaurant to celebrate the singer’s 60th
birthday. Khan stops by the St. Louis-based eatery for some cake and
friendly fellowship, as the Upper Crust staff welcomes her with a
soulful “Happy Birthday” song.
“It’s
wonderful to be able to host special occasions like this,” said Miss
Robbie, who will be celebrating a birthday of her own on an upcoming
episode. “This is exactly what I was thinking about when I opened up the
Upper Crust a year ago.”

About Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s
When
Robbie Montgomery, a 1960s backup singer and former Ikette, suffered a
collapsed lung and had to stop singing, she decided to pour her talents
into another creative venture: a soul food restaurant called Sweetie
Pie’s. At her family-centered eateries, which include Sweetie Pie’s at
the Mangrove, Sweetie Pie’s Upper Crust and the original Sweetie Pie’s
established in 1996, which Miss Robbie runs with her son, Tim, both
hilarity and drama are offered in equal measure. This docu-series
follows the loud, loving and often singing Montgomery family as they
work to expand their empire, one soulful dish at a time. The series is
produced by Pilgrim Studios and is executive produced by Craig Piligian,
Melodie Calvert, Jeff Keane, Tim Breitbach and Steve Luebbert. Twitter:
