An honor to meet Mo Amer during his fireside chat with Chris Hollins for “The Houston That Raised Me. The Houston We Are Becoming.”
Hearing his stories, humor, and deep love for Houston was a powerful reminder of how this city shapes us - through resilience, food, culture, and community ❤️
There’s something special about hearing someone speak so authentically about where they come from, and Mo’s reflections captured the spirit of Houston beautifully 🤘🏽
Grateful to have been in the room for this conversation.

We are so grateful for the opportunity to be part of the 2026 Gourmet Night at University of Houston’s Hilton College of Hospitality ✨
An incredible annual gala that brings creativity to life!
A student-driven event since 1974 with all proceeds funding student scholarships and programs within the Conrad N. Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership.❤️✨
This year’s theme was:
“If I Could Have an Ice Cream Truck” (inspired by Dr. Seuss) - we crafted the student’s request of a custom,
Blue Moon Ice cream (yes ice cream) and Blue-Raspberry Sorbet 🍦💙❤️
Truly an honor to be a part of such a special night 🙏🏽🍨

Rachna .edalur first came in on her own. Then she brought her sister. Then her family… and over the years, so many friends too.
Hearing how much our shop has meant to her and the memories she’s made here truly means everything to us.
“ You guys have made such a meaningful impact on my sister and I, and many of our memories have a sweet cup scoop in them :) My favorite flavor is red velvet! What I love most about Sweet Cup is that there is truly something for everyone. My family has such different tastes, but no matter what everyone leaves happy!” .edalur
