|
WHEREAS, The vitality of the culinary culture of Texas |
|
|
depends on the creativity and drive of innovative entrepreneurs, |
|
|
and one such individual is Lisa Wong of San Antonio, who has been a |
|
|
prominent figure in the city's restaurant business for the past |
|
|
three decades; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A native of the Alamo City, Ms. Wong is the daughter |
|
|
of Isabel Sanchez and Samuel Wong, and her distinctive Chinese and |
|
|
Mexican heritage has informed her professional achievements; at the |
|
|
age of 13, she began her first kitchen job, which she held until |
|
|
graduating from Jefferson High School in 1981; shortly thereafter, |
|
|
she opened Lisa's Mexican Restaurant with the help of her parents |
|
|
and her brother, Richard; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Learning her demanding trade from the ground up, |
|
|
this dynamic restaurateur took over Rosario's Café y Cantina on |
|
|
South Alamo in 1992 and soon won a loyal local following; needing |
|
|
more space, she moved Rosario's in 1999 to a new location, where she |
|
|
has met with great success and built a winning philosophy that has |
|
|
enabled her to explore new opportunities and take on additional |
|
|
challenges; most recently, Ms. Wong opened Acenar on the San |
|
|
Antonio River Walk, and she is also a partner in the popular China |
|
|
Latina restaurant; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Lisa Wong has contributed greatly to the dining |
|
|
experience in San Antonio, and she may indeed take justifiable |
|
|
pride in her achievements and in the pleasure she continues to bring |
|
|
to thousands of appreciative patrons each year; now, therefore, be |
|
|
it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate restaurateur Lisa Wong on her |
|
|
professional success and extend to her sincere best wishes for the |
|
|
future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Wong as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
