WHEREAS, Snow's BBQ in Lexington has been ranked first on the |
|
|
2017 list of the Top 50 Barbecue Joints in Texas published by Texas |
|
|
Monthly; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This year's list--the fifth of its kind compiled by |
|
|
Texas Monthly since 1997--was spearheaded by the magazine's |
|
|
barbecue editor, Daniel Vaughn; for the piece, he traveled some |
|
|
65,000 miles and visited more than 400 barbecue restaurants around |
|
|
the state, enlisting the help of his fellow staff members as well as |
|
|
restaurant reviewers and freelance journalists along the way; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Established in 2003, Snow's BBQ is owned by Kerry |
|
|
Bexley, while the food is mostly prepared by renowned pitmaster |
|
|
Tootsie Tomanetz and pit hand Clay Cowgill; attaining a perfect |
|
|
score of 5.0, the eatery returned to the list's highest spot after |
|
|
first reaching it in 2008 and then dropping to number three in 2013; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, While many distinctive foods are associated with the |
|
|
Lone Star State, barbecue holds a special place in our culinary |
|
|
heritage, and Snow's BBQ has truly elevated the delicacy to new |
|
|
heights; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Snow's BBQ on topping the Texas |
|
|
Monthly 2017 list of the Top 50 Barbecue Joints in Texas and extend |
|
|
to its owner and staff sincere best wishes for continued success; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the restaurant as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
