| 5 | 6 | | WHEREAS, The Salt Lick in Driftwood brought its savory |
|---|
| 6 | 7 | | specialties to the State Capitol during the 84th Legislative |
|---|
| 7 | 8 | | Session as one of the featured restaurants for "Bar-B-Quesday"; and |
|---|
| 8 | 9 | | WHEREAS, Hosted on Tuesdays by State Representative Jason |
|---|
| 9 | 10 | | Isaac, this popular event provides a showcase for some of the finest |
|---|
| 10 | 11 | | barbecue establishments from House District 45; and |
|---|
| 11 | 12 | | WHEREAS, The Salt Lick got its start in 1967, when Thurman |
|---|
| 12 | 13 | | Roberts, a third-generation resident of Driftwood, began following |
|---|
| 13 | 14 | | his grandmother's recipe and slow-cooking barbecue over coals and |
|---|
| 14 | 15 | | offering it for sale each weekend; his brisket, sausage, turkey, |
|---|
| 15 | 16 | | and pork and beef ribs proved such a hit that the operation soon |
|---|
| 16 | 17 | | developed into a full-time restaurant; today, The Salt Lick is run |
|---|
| 17 | 18 | | by Thurman's son, Scott, and it draws thousands of customers each |
|---|
| 18 | 19 | | week, not only at the original Driftwood location but also at its |
|---|
| 19 | 20 | | outlets in Round Rock, Austin, and Oklahoma City; and |
|---|
| 20 | 21 | | WHEREAS, Texas barbecue is renowned across the nation and |
|---|
| 21 | 22 | | around the world, and this proud culinary tradition is maintained |
|---|
| 22 | 23 | | and enriched by outstanding Central Texas businesses such as The |
|---|
| 23 | 24 | | Salt Lick; now, therefore, be it |
|---|
| 24 | 25 | | RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|---|
| 25 | 26 | | Legislature hereby commend The Salt Lick for its participation in |
|---|
| 26 | 27 | | Bar-B-Quesday and extend sincere best wishes to Scott Roberts and |
|---|
| 27 | 28 | | his staff for continued success; and, be it further |
|---|
| 28 | 29 | | RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|---|
| 29 | 30 | | prepared for The Salt Lick as an expression of high regard by the |
|---|
| 30 | 31 | | Texas House of Representatives. |
