R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Old 300 BBQ of Blanco brought its savory specialties
to the State Capitol during the 84th Legislative Session as one of
the featured restaurants for "Bar-B-Quesday"; and
WHEREAS, Hosted on Tuesdays by State Representative Jason
Isaac, this popular event provides a showcase for some of the finest
barbecue establishments from House District 45; and
WHEREAS, Ladd Pepper, pitmaster at Old 300, grew up in Blanco
and first learned the fine art of cooking Texas-style barbecue
while working at a family-owned smokehouse near College Station; he
earned a degree in wildlife and fisheries sciences from Texas A&M
University, but producing quality smoked meats became his true
passion, and over the course of his career, he has hand-cut and
served more than 8,000 premium grade beef briskets; in 2013, he
joined with the other members of the Old 300 staff to open the
restaurant next to the courthouse square in Blanco, adding yet
another popular barbecue destination to the Hill Country; and
WHEREAS, Texas barbecue is renowned across the nation and
around the world, and this proud culinary tradition is maintained
and enriched by outstanding Central Texas businesses such as Old
300 BBQ; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Old 300 BBQ for its participation in
Bar-B-Quesday and extend sincere best wishes to Ladd Pepper and his
colleagues for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Old 300 BBQ as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
Isaac
