Food with Thought

Lunch with Pat Brown

"But what about nonprofessionals?' I ask.

"There are lots of Houstonians who already drive to our stores in Austin and San Antonio -- these people have waited a long time for us to get here," he says. But there is another huge group in Houston, according to Brown, and they are the store's primary target. Call them latent foodies: people who are interested in food but have never before had a place like Central Market to learn about it.

Pat Brown: Thinks Central Market will bring out the latent foodie in many Houstonians.
