no more wondering if you'll catch Memo in a good mood for your hot dog....they've closed their doors

Passed it numerous times, but only stopped once. On that stop I was confronted by a guy who obviously had been there for a while. He insisted that he knew me... he didn't.
Had a beer and left.
Oh well.

Sorry to hear that, another landmark slips away. I have to admit, I did not stop there on the last couple of trips down hwy 5, but it was due more to the time of day I was passing through, and I always thought "Next time".

Do you think it was due to a change in the nature of the traffic on that improved highway, or a health issue with the owner?

Cowpatty is closing effective tomorrow, 25 Jan 2023. It's been a great 26+ year run. Our customers are the BEST. Due to unforeseen circumstances it is in the best interest to take a step back. Everyone is healthy and well. This is a business decision based on several factors. This page will remain on line and we will keep you posted if there are any changes. A BIG thank you for all your support and friendship over the years. We will still be in the campo and look forward seeing you at the "Office". ....Richard

Perhaps another run in with “The Hacienda”! If my memory is correct it happened in the past as well.

On her Facebook page, Richard explains why... posted above yesterday. It does, perhaps, leave other possibilities as an option. Patti uses the computer so she relays everything for Richard, who ran the place that was named after Patti (who goes by 'Cow Patty')

I've only stopped there once for a beer a couple of years ago.

Some very random photos from the time I dropped by in 2001
