H.R. No. 1782
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Salt Lick was the featured restaurant on April
12, 2011, for "Bar-B-Quesday," and it is one of the outstanding
Central Texas businesses that have generously supported the popular
hall lunch event during the 82nd Legislative Session; and
WHEREAS, Hosted by State Representative Jason Isaac,
Bar-B-Quesday has served up tasty fare for an appreciative crowd at
the State Capitol on Tuesdays, and this highly anticipated
get-together has provided a showcase for some of the legendary
establishments in House District 45 specializing in that beloved
cuisine; and
WHEREAS, The Salt Lick was founded in Driftwood in 1967 by
Thurman Roberts and his family, and it traces its recipe for searing
and slow-cooking meat to Bettie Howard, the grandmother of Mr.
Roberts, who arrived in Texas in the 1860s; today, the Salt Lick is
owned by Thurman's son Scott and hosts thousands of diners each week
at its original restaurant as well as operating locations in Round
Rock and at the airports in Austin and Oklahoma City; and
WHEREAS, While many distinctive foods are associated with the
Lone Star State, barbecue holds a special place in our culinary
heritage, and the Salt Lick is indeed deserving of recognition for
helping to focus attention on the prominent role that Central Texas
has played in building and maintaining that proud tradition; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby commend the Salt Lick for its participation in
Bar-B-Quesday and extend sincere best wishes to the business for
continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Salt Lick as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
Isaac
