He was a butcher by trade for twenty plus years and a lifelong cat- tleman. This passion allowed him to find work in the ani- mal health profession as well. Ernie found solitude and joy in being a loving husband, father and friend to the cattle industry. His love for ani- mals allowed him to appreciate the outdoors and taught him many lessons about life, love and happiness. At an early age, he was introduced to the cattle industry and in turn the world of rodeo, more specifically bull riding. He was a member of the California Cowboys Rodeo Associa- tion (CCRA) for 10 years before retiring to begin another chapter of his life as a devoted family man and provider. Ernie became a journeyman butcher at Holiday Markets while still finding time to coach his children’s sports teams, 4-H & FFA functions and community events. He enjoyed hunting, drawing, attending rodeos and fairs events, spending time at numerous sale barns, enjoying the beauties of the outdoors but most of all being able to stand with his wife and watch their children’s many ach- ievements. Ernie was survived by his loving wife and soul-mate of work in progress when it comes to decor, the proprietors have nailed the food, at least the carne asada burrito I ordered.

As soon as I took a bite, I real- ized neither would have made this burrito any tastier. Though not as humongous as some others in town I still got two meals out of La Nueva’s offering — barely. Well after I felt full the first night, this was a hard burrito to put down — it was everything I could do to not take just one more bite. My taste buds thanked me the next evening when I heated up the remainder for dinner. While both burritos had to be consid- ered underdogs going in, both have staked their claim with strong Final Four appearances. But La Nueva will advance to Monday’s Chompionship.
