Not-So-Secret Foodies?

I have noticed an emerging trend in my research of Kentish Town: they appear to be a community of not-so-secret foodies. Although this isn't a widely promoted aspect of our area, it is something that keeps popping up. As welovekentishtown.co.uk says "in recent years the increasingly middle class population" may be contributing to the increasing popularity of deli's, restaurants and specialist food suppliers.

• The opening of the Earth whole foods shop in 2006
• the second London branch of Flavours, a specialist delicatessen selling high quality home-baked foods, refreshments and finest quality deli ingredients. 
• The street is also home to two pubs, one being an 1850s hostelry The Leighton, the other The Torriano, which was for many years an old-fashioned community off-licence, and has retained a welcoming "living room" feel since its conversion.
