Pot Holes, coffee and Ann Arbor Deep Local. Who has the freshest roast?, who has the best espresso? Who knows about pot holes? - Sunday, May 9th
I used to write about pot holes all the time and people would ask, 'What do pot holes have to do with coffee?'
The answer: Coffee and Pot Holes are every day events if you live in Ann Arbor.
How do I know? How do we know at RoosRoast? Because we're out on bikes delivering coffee with trailers, selling coffee from trikes and drinking coffee in a highly caffeineated state all over these Ann Arbor roads. And when we hit a pot hole we know!
Pot Holes are essential to the Deep Local Experience of living in Ann Arbor. We are deep local so believe me we know coffee, Ann Arbor and pot holes.
Ryan Smith Toured Europe last summer on bike pulling a trailer.
In Amsterdam he was inspired by all the hotties on bikes and all the businesses on bikes so he made it his goal to return to Michigan and sell RoosRoast from a bike. Over the winter he contacted me about doing a coffee trike.
Look for the RoosRoast coffee Trike 1.0 out on these Ann Arbor Roads. Ryan's Coffee Trike
Brian and Michelle at the Market and me, I'm hanging out with Jozo Wolffe the new Roos in the Roast.

More on that later and thanks for a great weekend.
Who has the best pot hole shots?
Thanks for reading and Jozo (it's the coolest thing to have him in a sling right now as I write you all this blog! Amen!) and I remain your faithful wirters and Roasters of fine coffee.

John, congratulations on little Jozo. Man you still look the same since I met you in 1998. I have a garden and chickens in Portland and think of you and Kent whenever I am doing something creative with food. Roos Roast and pot holes could be just as at home in PDX. Hope you are well. Is Ann Arbor as full of really cool food carts as PDX is. I saw one called "Starchy and Husk" it sells Mac and Cheese and the guy inside looked almost like you. I stood there looking at him for some time trying to figure out if you had come back to Portland. Nope, it wasn't you...
