H.R. No. 1775 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Vitek's BBQ in Waco has earned national recognition | ||
as the winner of the Cooking Channel's 2013 Best College Eats | ||
competition with its signature dish, the Gut Pak; and | ||
WHEREAS, This flavorful contest was staged to coincide with | ||
the 2013 NCAA Tournament, with 32 college towns pitted against each | ||
other in a "bracket battle" over their best game-time meal; and | ||
WHEREAS, Originally located in Granger, Vitek's was founded | ||
as a grocery and meat market in 1915 by William Frank Vitek; the | ||
business eventually moved to Waco, where his son, Willie, took it | ||
over, and in 1972, Willie's son, Bill Vitek and his wife, Susan, | ||
began serving barbecue sandwiches and sausage; and | ||
WHEREAS, Bill Vitek created the restaurant's famous Gut Pak | ||
in 1983, combining chopped beef, sausage, cheese, beans, pickles, | ||
onions, jalapenos, bread, and Fritos, and in the years since, this | ||
all-in-one feast has become a favorite with Baylor University | ||
students; and | ||
WHEREAS, Bill and Susan Vitek's daughter, Julie Vitek Keith | ||
and her husband, Jason, have managed the restaurant since 2007, | ||
carrying forward the family tradition of good food and friendly | ||
service and proudly putting the family name in the national | ||
spotlight; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Vitek's BBQ on winning the Cooking | ||
Channel's 2013 Best College Eats competition and extend to Julie | ||
and Jason Keith and their staff sincere best wishes for continued | ||
success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Vitek's BBQ as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
