H.R. No. 2656
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Snow's BBQ in Lexington has been ranked first on the
2017 list of the Top 50 Barbecue Joints in Texas published by Texas
Monthly; and
WHEREAS, This year's list--the fifth of its kind compiled by
Texas Monthly since 1997--was spearheaded by the magazine's
barbecue editor, Daniel Vaughn; for the piece, he traveled some
65,000 miles and visited more than 400 barbecue restaurants around
the state, enlisting the help of his fellow staff members as well as
restaurant reviewers and freelance journalists along the way; and
WHEREAS, Established in 2003, Snow's BBQ is owned by Kerry
Bexley, while the food is mostly prepared by renowned pitmaster
Tootsie Tomanetz and pit hand Clay Cowgill; attaining a perfect
score of 5.0, the eatery returned to the list's highest spot after
first reaching it in 2008 and then dropping to number three in 2013;
and
WHEREAS, While many distinctive foods are associated with the
Lone Star State, barbecue holds a special place in our culinary
heritage, and Snow's BBQ has truly elevated the delicacy to new
heights; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Snow's BBQ on topping the Texas
Monthly 2017 list of the Top 50 Barbecue Joints in Texas and extend
to its owner and staff sincere best wishes for continued success;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the restaurant as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
