Hi, I’m Momoko and I am Cowgirl Banquet! I started a supper club before the pandemic that I hosted in my home that facilitated discussions and connecting. I loved it, but the world had different plans for us all. In 2023 I revived my supper club, rebranded and then scaled the guest size. My goal was to bring back in person social gatherings. Technology has brought us together while at the same time distancing our literal face time. I love bringing people together to meet someone new or to have a wonderful night out!My story
My love for hosting comes from my mother. She grew up in Fukuoka, Japan on a farm (yep, southern farm girl). She met my American father and was transplanted to America. The language barrier she had with her peers left her lonely and pining for home. Cooking was the balm to her missing Japan and additionally it redirected her sadness into creativity. My bold and fearless mom would invite people over even with her limited English and would often make Japanese soul food. Growing up, my siblings and I would race to the table after enduring the aromatics of my mom’s dinner prep and we would laugh, tease and furiously eat gyoza, curry, katsudon or soba etc. These dinners are the continuation and extension of the joy I felt all those nights.
