|
WHEREAS, Miss Mae's Bar-B-Que was the featured restaurant for |
|
|
"Bar-B-Quesday" on May 17, 2011, and it is one of the outstanding |
|
|
Central Texas businesses that have generously supported the popular |
|
|
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, Miss Mae's Bar-B-Que in Wimberley is carrying on a |
|
|
legacy that extends back to the late 1950s; owner Steve Dunks bases |
|
|
his offerings on the recipes of his grandmother Mae, an area rancher |
|
|
who became famous for her home-cooked barbecue and who later |
|
|
operated a restaurant on the Wimberley Square; following her death |
|
|
in 1997, Mr. Dunks opened Miss Mae's Bar-B-Que, ensuring that his |
|
|
grandmother's delicious style of cooking will continue to be |
|
|
enjoyed by legions of satisfied diners; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, While many distinctive foods are associated with the |
|
|
Lone Star State, barbecue holds a special place in our culinary |
|
|
heritage, and Miss Mae's 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 Miss Mae's 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 Miss Mae's Bar-B-Que as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
