I agree, LaurenK. Act like you love Houston and always wanted to open here!

When you’re planning to expand your business to a new city, does it seem like a good idea to insult the restaurant scene there? I mean, even if that’s what you think (and I think you’re wrong), why vocalize it? It’s only likely to alienate people.

“They’re starving for great places to eat there,” Ogden says.

I’m curious to learn more about the new concepts he’ll bring to Houston, but wouldn’t say we’re short on great places to eat.

Can a highly awarded celebrity chef, my opinion based on reading the linked article, compete with the all of the great new restaurants from Houston based chefs?

There are THREE Starbuckses near each other in the River Oaks Shopping Center (including the one in Barnes & Noble). In fact, they are all probably within 200 feet of each other.
