Sam Diego's auction date set as restaurant closing | Exclusive

Sam Diego’s Mexican Cookery and Bar is done. “We have not sold the business as Sam Diego’s so Sam Diego’s as a restaurant business will be closed on Nov. 14,” said Clarke Buchanan, one of several friends who started Sam’s in 1982. An auction of Sam Diego’s artwork and other decor will be held Nov. 20 to Dec. 2. The auction will be run by Local Liquidation Auctions out of Arizona. They are photographing auction items and writing descriptions now for the online auction. Those who win auctioned items should expect to pick them up at the restaurant on Dec. 3 and Dec. 4, Buchanan said. “There is stuff that’s worth collecting. We have a lot of original artwork by (Barre) Pinske … papier-mǎché by Sergio Bustamante, a Mexican artist, painted cow skulls.” Links to the auction will be available through Sam Diego’s social media. There are plans to auction pretty much all the decorations except the Sergio Bustamante moon. The Bustamante sun, which visitors like to photograph, will be sold. It was damaged years ago by college kids trying to take it off the wall for photos, but repaired by Cape Cod artist Cristina (Cris) Reverdy, Buchanan said. Located
