WHEREAS, Locally owned and operated restaurants contribute |
|
|
to the character and vitality of their communities, and Snappy's |
|
|
Café and Grill in Katy, which plays such a valued role, is |
|
|
celebrating its 15th anniversary on February 8, 2017; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Founded in 2002 by Bobby Katsabas and Alex |
|
|
Tsounakas, Snappy's is a traditional neighborhood diner, open seven |
|
|
days a week for breakfast and lunch; the menu includes home-style |
|
|
fare such as eggs and bacon, omelets, pancakes, sandwiches, |
|
|
burgers, liver and onions, and chicken-fried steak, as well as |
|
|
flavorful Greek specialties such as souvlaki and gyro sandwiches; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the past decade and a half, Snappy's has become |
|
|
a popular gathering spot for families to share a meal together, for |
|
|
local officials and businesspeople to meet informally, and for |
|
|
seniors to hold court and solve the world's problems over a cup of |
|
|
coffee; on game days, the restaurant also serves as an unofficial |
|
|
headquarters for fans of the Katy Tigers; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The café's warm atmosphere is fostered by its owners |
|
|
and its friendly and hardworking staff, who make an extra effort to |
|
|
know the names and usual orders of their customers, providing the |
|
|
kind of personal service that is a hallmark of small-town life; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The well-being of Texas depends on a vibrant, |
|
|
diversified economy, and independent businesses deeply rooted in |
|
|
their communities are to be commended for strengthening the |
|
|
prosperity of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the 15th anniversary of Snappy's |
|
|
Café and Grill and extend to Bobby Katsabas, Alex Tsounakas, and |
|
|
their staff sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Katsabas and Mr. Tsounakas as an expression of high |
|
|
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
