Dwayne Gale, the restaurant's new operating partner, spent the past decade across the street as executive chef at Eddie V's
It’s been a long road to success for Mermaids and Cowboys, a 3-year-old surf-and-turf restaurant on Prospect Street in La Jolla. But a new leader with longtime hometown credentials is optimistic that the changes he made to the menu and service model in recent months will finally make Mermaids the neighborhood hangout its late founder once dreamed about.
As COVID cases spiked that fall, the partners temporarily closed Mermaids and Cowboys, then reopened the restaurant in spring 2021. But the concept struggled to make its mark in the crowded La Jolla restaurant community. Meanwhile, Delcham was quietly battling terminal cancer, which ultimately took his life on April 25 of last year. He was 56 and left behind his wife, Jennifer, and their daughter, Delaney Delcham.
Gale — a Houston native who also recently opened Buck’s Meat Market in La Jolla with business partner Steve Horowitz — had worked for decades at mostly chain restaurants like Eddie V’s and the Chart House, so he was excited to put his own stamp on a place.
