Interesting H and H Master Chef Sighting

We picked up the August/September - Issue No. 18 of Edible San Antonio. They published an article about La Familia Cortez Restaurants celebrating 75 years in San Antonio. “Mi Tierra” was opened in Market Square in 1941.

The image included in the article caught our attention.

Another angle of the same spread, with the magazine open on a wooden desk so the painted portrait of Pedro and Cruz Cortez in front of the Mi Tierra Cafe and Bakery storefront fills the left-hand page — the Master Chef Coffee chef mascot and sign are clearly visible on the building wall just to the right of the Mi Tierra marquee.

The Cortez founders stand in front of Mi Tierra. Floating above them is the smile of the H & H Master Chef Coffee icon.

Whether this is a colorized photo or an artist’s rendition of the actual picture, the one detail that stands out is the background color of the Master Chef sign. The photo of Mi Tierra we’ve seen is black and white.

Was the Master Chef sign above Mi Tierra really green?
