Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart is taking his talents from the paint to the plate, teaming up with Detroit-born fast-casual chain My Big Fat Shawarma and headlining the grand opening of the brand’s new Beverly Hills location in suburban Oakland County. The collaboration ties Stewart’s name to a signature "Big Fat Bowl" and folds in grand-opening giveaways that include a signed jersey and autographed sneakers.

As reported by the Detroit Free Press, the Beverly Hills shop will sit at the intersection of Southfield Road and 13 Mile and will be the chain’s fourth location. The Free Press notes that the grand-opening promotions will feature giveaways of a signed Isaiah Stewart jersey and autographed sneakers supplied by the player’s camp.

What Stewart Is Serving Up

The menu tie-in tags Stewart’s name to a double-protein "Big Fat Bowl," a build-your-own setup that lets customers stack proteins such as organic chicken and seasoned steak over a base of rice or lettuce. From there, diners load up on fresh vegetables and finish it off with the brand’s house-made fat sauce, available in regular or spicy.

According to My Big Fat Shawarma, the chain focuses on certified halal proteins and currently operates locations in Midtown Detroit, Warren, and West Bloomfield.

From 8 Mile To A New Suburban Spot

Stewart, who suits up for the Detroit Pistons, gives the suburban expansion a local star power boost that is likely to pull Pistons fans out to Beverly Hills. His player profile on Basketball-Reference lists him as an active frontcourt player for Detroit.

The timing of the grand opening and the mechanics of the giveaways come from a company news release that was cited by the Detroit Free Press, and fans are encouraged to check the restaurant’s official channels for exact times and any ticketing details. The My Big Fat Shawarma website also posts hours and menus for each of its locations.
