Life indeed is filled with great possibilities. The Market on Holly, for example, has become one of Pasadena’s noted sources of gourmet foods and specialty retail products. Who would have thought that chef and co-owner Mary Pat Brandmeyer and owner Marty Davich would meet and find they share common culinary passions and business ideas.  Today, the store-cum-restaurant continues to generate a lot of buzz for consumers who demand more than the ordinary food store and eateries.
