Houston has always been a great city for foodies. But this past decade we've moved to an entirely new level - elite status if you will! Downtown has played a critical role in that change, with some of the city's best dining, markets and food events. Diversity is key to Houston's standing as food central and nowhere is that more obvious than Bravery Chef Hall. Anchored on the ground floor of Aris Market Square, Bravery is a chef-driven experience in a fast-casual setting where the chefs can mix and mingle with diners. Meet the renowned chefs starting on page 14. For a broad overview of what's available, Best Bites Houston is an awesome place to start. Starting on page 34, learn more about the walking food tour and the dynamic young entrepreneur behind the venture. Beginning on page 7, meet the man whose name is synonymous with Downtown’s development—Gerald Hines. In this issue you’ll discover some of the best food Downtown has to offer and, of course, Datebook— our extensive events calendar.
