|
||
| WHEREAS, A vibrant southeast Texas community, Bridge City has | ||
| become known as a premier destination for a food that's synonymous | ||
| with good times and good eating: the corn dog; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Bridge City has a rich history of bringing people | ||
| together through events and festivals that foster a spirit of | ||
| hospitality and camaraderie; corn dogs are an especially popular | ||
| food at these gatherings, and attendees line up to procure the | ||
| sweet-and-savory treat, which is made by coating a hot dog in | ||
| cornmeal batter, deep-frying it, and serving it on a stick for easy | ||
| consumption while strolling; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The origin of this classic American snack food is a | ||
| matter of debate, but it has become a signature delicacy in Bridge | ||
| City; local vendors and food establishments are renowned for their | ||
| expertise in crafting delicious corn dogs, and they have become | ||
| beloved enterprises that are frequented by locals and visitors | ||
| alike; a number of the proprietors operate on a daily basis so that | ||
| enthusiasts don't have to wait for a special event to enjoy a tasty | ||
| dog; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Whether eaten with ketchup, mustard, or more exotic | ||
| toppings, the corn dog is an all-American favorite, and it has | ||
| become an iconic specialty and a source of civic pride for the | ||
| residents of Bridge City; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby designate Bridge City as the official Corn Dog Capital of | ||
| Texas; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That, in accordance with the provisions of Section | ||
| 391.003(e), Government Code, this designation remain in effect | ||
| until the 10th anniversary of the date this resolution is finally | ||
