H.R. No. 2656 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Snow's BBQ in Lexington has been ranked first on the | ||
2017 list of the Top 50 Barbecue Joints in Texas published by Texas | ||
Monthly; and | ||
WHEREAS, This year's list--the fifth of its kind compiled by | ||
Texas Monthly since 1997--was spearheaded by the magazine's | ||
barbecue editor, Daniel Vaughn; for the piece, he traveled some | ||
65,000 miles and visited more than 400 barbecue restaurants around | ||
the state, enlisting the help of his fellow staff members as well as | ||
restaurant reviewers and freelance journalists along the way; and | ||
WHEREAS, Established in 2003, Snow's BBQ is owned by Kerry | ||
Bexley, while the food is mostly prepared by renowned pitmaster | ||
Tootsie Tomanetz and pit hand Clay Cowgill; attaining a perfect | ||
score of 5.0, the eatery returned to the list's highest spot after | ||
first reaching it in 2008 and then dropping to number three in 2013; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, While many distinctive foods are associated with the | ||
Lone Star State, barbecue holds a special place in our culinary | ||
heritage, and Snow's BBQ has truly elevated the delicacy to new | ||
heights; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Snow's BBQ on topping the Texas | ||
Monthly 2017 list of the Top 50 Barbecue Joints in Texas and extend | ||
to its owner and staff sincere best wishes for continued success; | ||
and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the restaurant as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
