    Did you know that several years before the closure and his passing, Stan sold the brand and recipe to a Chicago outfit? "Stan's Donuts & Coffee" in Chicago is now a chain of 30+ stores. The Berman family will get royalties for many years.

    Huell was one of the most humble and charming person I had ever met. I was supposed to co-host an episode with him about the culture of the Mexican Lucha Libre (wrestling) scene in LA. But it never came to fruition. We played phone tag for while then sadly. he passed. His shows were a thing of simplistic beauty and his boy-like charisma made them a gem to watch. His shows got me through the roughest of times, and made me smile at the end of the day.. RIP HUELL HOWSER you were truly California's Gold.

      I agree, he did bring a sense of the better in us all. I had a medical problem and was pretty sick, stuck at home waiting to see if I was going to make it. Pretty serious stuff. To cheer up I'd watch these tapes of his many shows. Funny as it sounds they did just that. I got to looking forward to watching them daily. Some of them over and over again (such as the desert episodes around Salton Sea or Newberry Springs). Was great to have Huell's old shows around to watch. Even dead he still provides us with a positive outlook on life.

    I tell you what, if Huell was my uncle or grandpa, or even my dad, he'd have easily been my favorite relative.
    I've gone to countless places he recommended. I remember in particular some old beverage shop in Eagle Rock that had NeHi he'd showcased; I actually worked right next door to that place for awhile. I even remember house-sitting on Rossmore, just below after it changes from Vine, and being pointed out Huell's LA digs...when he wasn't in the desert anyway. (thought for sure I saw him one day...)
    It's a G@d-damnwd shame he died.
