H.R. No. 1782
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, The Salt Lick was the featured restaurant on April
  12, 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, The Salt Lick was founded in Driftwood in 1967 by
  Thurman Roberts and his family, and it traces its recipe for searing
  and slow-cooking meat to Bettie Howard, the grandmother of Mr.
  Roberts, who arrived in Texas in the 1860s; today, the Salt Lick is
  owned by Thurman's son Scott and hosts thousands of diners each week
  at its original restaurant as well as operating locations in Round
  Rock and at the airports in Austin and Oklahoma City; and
         WHEREAS, While many distinctive foods are associated with the
  Lone Star State, barbecue holds a special place in our culinary
  heritage, and the Salt Lick 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 the Salt Lick 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 the Salt Lick as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
 
  Isaac
