H.R. No. 1783

R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, Chisholm Trail Bar-B-Que was the featured restaurant on April 19, 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, Chisholm Trail Bar-B-Que was founded in 1978 by Floyd Wilhelm, who was so dedicated to the idea of running his own restaurant that he sold his fishing boat to get the business started; in the years since, Chisholm Trail has established itself alongside the other renowned eateries in Lockhart, a town synonymous with excellent Texas barbecue; and

WHEREAS, While many distinctive foods are associated with the Lone Star State, barbecue holds a special place in our culinary heritage, and Chisholm Trail Bar-B-Que 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 Chisholm Trail Bar-B-Que 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 Chisholm Trail Bar-B-Que as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.

Isaac
