WHEREAS, Aaron Peña, Jacob Gonzales, and Matthew Garcia have |
|
|
distinguished themselves as the organizers of the Fajita Lounge, a |
|
|
unique pop-up event that has fostered camaraderie in the San |
|
|
Antonio Latino community; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Fajita Lounge traces its origins to 2022, when |
|
|
Mr. Peña enlisted Mr. Gonzales and Mr. Garcia, two veteran local |
|
|
chefs, to help with a crawfish boil at the Squeezebox, a bar on |
|
|
St. Mary's Street that was owned and operated by Mr. Peña; after the |
|
|
crew quickly ran out of crawfish for patrons, they threw marinated |
|
|
chicken onto the grill, and the Fajita Lounge was born; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Nicknamed the world's hottest Tejano party, the |
|
|
popular, donation-based gathering takes place at various locations |
|
|
in the Alamo City and raises funds for causes benefiting area |
|
|
hospitality workers; attendees enjoy a spirited, communal |
|
|
atmosphere that aims to capture the nostalgic smells, sounds, and |
|
|
tastes of a backyard cookout; over the years, the Fajita Lounge has |
|
|
featured cooking competitions that bring together talented chefs |
|
|
from local restaurants and food trucks; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through this noteworthy event, Aaron Peña, Jacob |
|
|
Gonzales, and Matthew Garcia are contributing to the cultural |
|
|
richness of the San Antonio community, and they are indeed |
|
|
deserving of special recognition for their efforts; now, therefore, |
|
|
be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Aaron Peña, Jacob Gonzales, and |
|
|
Matthew Garcia on the success of the Fajita Lounge and extend to |
|
|
them sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Peña, Mr. Gonzales, and Mr. Garcia as an expression |
|
|
of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
