H.R. No. 2039
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Miss Mae's Bar-B-Que was the featured restaurant for
"Bar-B-Quesday" on May 17, 2011, and it is one of the outstanding
Central Texas businesses that have generously supported the popular
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, Miss Mae's Bar-B-Que in Wimberley is carrying on a
legacy that extends back to the late 1950s; owner Steve Dunks bases
his offerings on the recipes of his grandmother Mae, an area rancher
who became famous for her home-cooked barbecue and who later
operated a restaurant on the Wimberley Square; following her death
in 1997, Mr. Dunks opened Miss Mae's Bar-B-Que, ensuring that his
grandmother's delicious style of cooking will continue to be
enjoyed by legions of satisfied diners; and
WHEREAS, While many distinctive foods are associated with the
Lone Star State, barbecue holds a special place in our culinary
heritage, and Miss Mae's Bar-B-Que 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 Miss Mae's Bar-B-Que 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 Miss Mae's Bar-B-Que as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
Isaac
