This is an I-Heart podcast.

It's that time.

Lock and load.

The Michael Vary show is on the air.

Yeah. show is on the air. The Harry Show is on the air. Talking about coffee shops and coffee generally,

when we started looking for a partner who would roast coffee and we wanted a Houston-based coffee roaster provider, and we started going out.

And there are several in Houston. there are several really good coffees in houston

but we landed on cats now in fairness they had a little bit of an advantage because for years

magic at the deli downstairs served Katz coffee.

And I had seen Katz coffee around town, K-A-T-Z, for years, and I thought Katz was a national brand.

I didn't know it was Avi Katz in Houston over on Carbock Lane or whatever it is, where the

beer distilleries are, is

where his roasting facility is.

I didn't know that.

But when they submitted

and we tasted, we all

liked that, I think probably

partly because that's the coffee we've been drinking for years

and we'd grown to really, really enjoy it.

So when we narrowed it down to five and then I think three and we looked at, all right, we want a coffee that we like because we're going to be committed to drinking it.

That's part of it.

We want you to be Houston based. We're going to be committed to drinking it that's part of it we want you to be Houston based we want you to be supporters of Camp Hope and you tell us what you're going to do
