CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
|
|
WHEREAS, A vibrant southeast Texas community, Bridge City has |
|
|
become known as a premier destination for a food that's synonymous |
|
|
with good times and good eating: the corn dog; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Bridge City has a rich history of bringing people |
|
|
together through events and festivals that foster a spirit of |
|
|
hospitality and camaraderie; corn dogs are an especially popular |
|
|
food at these gatherings, and attendees line up to procure the |
|
|
sweet-and-savory treat, which is made by coating a hot dog in |
|
|
cornmeal batter, deep-frying it, and serving it on a stick for easy |
|
|
consumption while strolling; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The origin of this classic American snack food is a |
|
|
matter of debate, but it has become a signature delicacy in Bridge |
|
|
City; local vendors and food establishments are renowned for their |
|
|
expertise in crafting delicious corn dogs, and they have become |
|
|
beloved enterprises that are frequented by locals and visitors |
|
|
alike; a number of the proprietors operate on a daily basis so that |
|
|
enthusiasts don't have to wait for a special event to enjoy a tasty |
|
|
dog; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Whether eaten with ketchup, mustard, or more exotic |
|
|
toppings, the corn dog is an all-American favorite, and it has |
|
|
become an iconic specialty and a source of civic pride for the |
|
|
residents of Bridge City; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|
hereby designate Bridge City as the official Corn Dog Capital of |
|
|
Texas; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That, in accordance with the provisions of Section |
|
|
391.003(e), Government Code, this designation remain in effect |
|
|
until the 10th anniversary of the date this resolution is finally |
|
|
passed by the legislature. |
