RIP Cotton Patch restaurant

Probably won't mean anything to folks in 49 other states, but this was the go-to destination on Alabama football weekends before Dreamland was a gleam in anybody's eye.

never knew it existed, but would be a better reason to go to Greene County than give Milton McGregor money

I've been to the dog track at Eutaw, but never actually been inside the Cotton Patch.
My parents went numerous times. Said field hands actually served you your food.
Or Aunt Jemiema-type maids.
Or somesuch.

Good riddance.

The name of the place doesn't exactly sound like they were interested in the African-American market. I always think the same when I see Bigelow's "Plantation Mint" tea. Creepy.

What is a Eut?[/mycousinvinny)


I hate it when places like this shut the doors. Not enough of them left.
