H.R. No. 1419 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Texans are renowned for their love of chicken fried | ||
steak, that exceptional dish that elevates the hearty flavor of | ||
beef to new heights by coating it in batter and breading and frying | ||
it until the ingredients are melded in a blissful union; and | ||
WHEREAS, A food that reflects the history and diversity of | ||
our state, chicken fried steak has been linked to the German | ||
specialty Wiener schnitzel, which arrived in Texas with European | ||
immigrants; other food historians note that chicken fried steak is | ||
similar to pan-fried steak, a favorite of Texas cowboys; and | ||
WHEREAS, Generations of Lone Star State residents have | ||
partaken of this beloved entree, and happy memories of putting | ||
knife and fork to a chicken fried steak in the company of family and | ||
friends are shared by countless people all across Texas; and | ||
WHEREAS, While chicken fried steak can be enjoyed at any | ||
time, the dish's popularity justifies the celebration of an | ||
observance in its honor; on October 26, 2011, restaurants | ||
throughout the state are marking the second annual Texas Chicken | ||
Fried Steak Day with special deals and related activities; and | ||
WHEREAS, This signature dish occupies a special place in the | ||
culinary culture of the Lone Star State, and Texas Chicken Fried | ||
Steak Day provides a welcome opportunity to pay homage to that | ||
shared legacy; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize October 26, 2011, as Texas Chicken | ||
Fried Steak Day and extend sincere best wishes to all who are taking | ||
part in this unique occasion. | ||
