H.R. No. 2803
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Salt Lick in Driftwood 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, The Salt Lick got its start in 1967, when Thurman
Roberts, a third-generation resident of Driftwood, began following
his grandmother's recipe and slow-cooking barbecue over coals and
offering it for sale each weekend; his brisket, sausage, turkey,
and pork and beef ribs proved such a hit that the operation soon
developed into a full-time restaurant; today, The Salt Lick is run
by Thurman's son, Scott, and it draws thousands of customers each
week, not only at the original Driftwood location but also at its
outlets in Round Rock, Austin, and Oklahoma City; 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 The
Salt Lick; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby commend The Salt Lick for its participation in
Bar-B-Quesday and extend sincere best wishes to Scott Roberts and
his staff 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
