Store House Market & Eatery

Sonya is a proponent of supporting local purveyors and recognizes the importance of using locally-grown ingredients for both nutritional and environmental purposes. She is a pioneer of the east Austin food scene, opening Eastside Showroom, Hillside Farmacy, and Eden East. She and her husband own a 5 acre farm one mile north of Store House Market & Eatery, which supplies the restaurant, as well as her other venture, Eden West Food Truck in Driftwood, with its seasonal harvest. 

Kate grew up cooking with her parents in Louisiana, which turned into a passion and now a career.  She started at Whole Foods in the seafood department, then transitioned into a line cook at Hillside Farmacy. She worked her way up to Sous Chef at Hillside, and helped Eden East on the side. In 2019, she opened her passion project, Bacchus and Brown, a New-Orleans inspired restaurant, which unfortunately did not last durinng the pandemic. She’s thrilled to join Store House Market & Eatery as Chef de Cuisine and can’t wait to share her favorite gumbo recipe with you!  When Kate isn’t working she likes to spend time with her wife and four dogs. They love to swim, spend time outdoors, and of course, cook together.
