Building a Brand

As part of the marketing push for this month's Sugar Land Wine & Food Affair, Gallery Furniture will begin selling dining room furniture that chefs Efisio Farris of Arcodoro, Philippe Schmit of Philippe, Robert Del Grande of RDG and David Cordua of Cordua Restaurants "have chosen ... to reflect their own culinary viewpoints." People who think that a chef's ability to know whether a scallop is perfectly cooked extends to a proclivity towards interior design are advised to head to I-45 North between Tidwell and Parker.
