|
WHEREAS, The Salt Lick in Driftwood brought its savory |
|
|
specialties to the State Capitol during the 84th Legislative |
|
|
Session as one of the featured restaurants for "Bar-B-Quesday"; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Hosted on Tuesdays by State Representative Jason |
|
|
Isaac, this popular event provides a showcase for some of the finest |
|
|
barbecue establishments from House District 45; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Salt Lick got its start in 1967, when Thurman |
|
|
Roberts, a third-generation resident of Driftwood, began following |
|
|
his grandmother's recipe and slow-cooking barbecue over coals and |
|
|
offering it for sale each weekend; his brisket, sausage, turkey, |
|
|
and pork and beef ribs proved such a hit that the operation soon |
|
|
developed into a full-time restaurant; today, The Salt Lick is run |
|
|
by Thurman's son, Scott, and it draws thousands of customers each |
|
|
week, not only at the original Driftwood location but also at its |
|
|
outlets in Round Rock, Austin, and Oklahoma City; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texas barbecue is renowned across the nation and |
|
|
around the world, and this proud culinary tradition is maintained |
|
|
and enriched by outstanding Central Texas businesses such as The |
|
|
Salt Lick; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend The Salt Lick for its participation in |
|
|
Bar-B-Quesday and extend sincere best wishes to Scott Roberts and |
|
|
his staff 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. |
