Hello Fam, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving Holiday and didn’t eat too much, like I did!
Several people have inquired about my health and what I’m doing now. Well, the knee is still progressing, getting better everyday, still not ready to run a marathon though!
As for what I’m doing, I have decided to team up with Keller Williams as a REALTOR. So, whether you’re a first time buyer, scaling up or downsizing, looking for investment properties, or commercial properties, I can assist you in navigating through the process, just send me a message!

After 31 years in the restaurant business, it’s time for me to sign off…

From opening and running three restaurants- starting with Cooley’s Catfish Shack -to cooking at events like Mayfest, Main Street Arts Festival, the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo, Texas and Las Vegas Motor Speedways, and the World Catfish Festival, it’s been quite a ride. Add in the adventures of our food truck, the ’52 Chevy Kitchen, and countless private events, and it’s safe to say this journey has been full.

As many of you know, I recently had a total knee replacement. While recovery is going well, I’m not yet back to the level of energy and pace that running a restaurant requires. The downtime has given me plenty of time to reflect, and I’ve realized how many weekends, birthdays, and family gatherings I’ve missed along the way.

It has truly been an honor and a joy to meet so many of you and to serve this community our great tasting catfish. I am deeply grateful for your support and your prayers over the last six years—we will miss you more than words can say.

Our final days of operation will be Friday and Saturday, September 26th & 27th, for lunch service.

The restaurant is now listed for sale. If you, or someone you know, might be interested in a turn-key restaurant opportunity, please feel free to reach out.

As it is written, “There is a time and season for everything.” The time has come for this chapter to close, and for a new one to begin…

Thanks for the memories,
Dwight
