25-Enrolled, An Act,
2625 SJR___ COMMENDING LANNIE'S BAR-B-Q SPOT ON BEING NAMED ONE
2726 OF USA TODAY'S 2025 RESTAURANTS OF THE YEAR.
2827 WHEREAS, with great pride and special pleasure, we
2928 commend Lannie's Bar-B-Q Spot, a Selma institution and one
3029 of the oldest barbecue restaurants in Alabama, for being
3130 named one of USA Today's 2025 Restaurants of the Year; and
3231 WHEREAS, the USA Today list includes 45 restaurants
3332 in 27 states, from white-tablecloth restaurants to taco
3433 stands and burger joints; Lannie's is the only Alabama
3534 restaurant on the list, which was compiled by food writers
3635 across the USA Today Network; the USA Today writers chose
3736 "restaurants that surprise and delight them, ones that they
3837 return to again and again, ones they like to recommend to
3938 out-of-towners"; and
4039 WHEREAS, for five generations, Lannie's Bar-B-Q Spot
4140 has served customers just across Minter Avenue from where it
4241 all started 80 years ago; along the way, it has weathered
4342 storms, both natural and political, and is ready to face the
4443 coming decades in a brand-new building; the operators are
4544 not the only generational component in this formula of
4645 smoked pork, fried fish, burgers, and fries; customers, too,
4746 have been coming here for generations; the fiery red,
4847 vinegar-based sauce is just as ingrained in the history here
4948 as the dark prairie soil that gives the Black Belt region

7978 as the dark prairie soil that gives the Black Belt region
8079 its name; and
8180 WHEREAS, Lannie's story goes back to 1944, when
8281 founders Lannie and Will Travis started barbecuing hogs in a
8382 cinder-block pit next to their Minter Avenue home; last
8483 summer, a year after tearing down their old building, the
8584 grandchildren of the founders reopened the family business
8685 in a new, larger space that will continue Lannie's tradition
8786 for years to come; and
8887 WHEREAS, tucked away in a historically Black
8988 neighborhood in eastern Selma, the family-owned barbecue
9089 joint has always been a place where everyone felt welcome;
9190 even during the turbulent 1960s, when Selma was on the front
9291 lines of the Civil Rights Movement, Lannie's was a calm in
9392 the storm; now therefore,
9493 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF ALABAMA, BOTH
9594 HOUSES THEREOF CONCURRING, That Lannie's Bar-B-Q Spot is
9695 highly commended and congratulated for being chosen as one
9796 of USA Today's 2025 Restaurants of the Year, and best wishes
9897 are extended for continued success in all future endeavors.
