| H.R. No. 1784 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Black's Barbecue was the featured restaurant on | ||
| April 26, 2011, for "Bar-B-Quesday," and it is one of the | ||
| outstanding Central Texas businesses that have generously | ||
| supported the popular hall lunch event during the 82nd Legislative | ||
| Session; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Hosted by State Representative Jason Isaac, | ||
| Bar-B-Quesday has served up tasty fare for an appreciative crowd at | ||
| the State Capitol on Tuesdays, and this highly anticipated | ||
| get-together has provided a showcase for some of the legendary | ||
| establishments in House District 45 specializing in that beloved | ||
| cuisine; and | ||
| WHEREAS, One of the renowned smokehouses in Lockhart, Black's | ||
| Barbecue was founded by Edgar Black, Sr., in 1932 and is one of the | ||
| oldest barbecue restaurants in the Lone Star State that has been | ||
| continuously owned by the same family; four generations have been | ||
| involved in the business, with Edgar Black, Jr., and his wife, Norma | ||
| Jean--the son and daughter-in-law of the founder--still playing a | ||
| prominent role in the operation; over the course of eight decades, | ||
| the restaurant has enjoyed many honors, including being selected by | ||
| President Lyndon B. Johnson as the representative for Texas-style | ||
| barbecue for an event at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.; and | ||
| WHEREAS, While many distinctive foods are associated with the | ||
| Lone Star State, barbecue holds a special place in our culinary | ||
| heritage, and Black's Barbecue is indeed deserving of recognition | ||
| for helping to focus attention on the prominent role that Central | ||
| Texas has played in building and maintaining that proud tradition; | ||
| now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commend Black's Barbecue for its participation | ||
| in Bar-B-Quesday and extend sincere best wishes to the business for | ||
| continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Black's Barbecue as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives. | ||
| Isaac | ||
