WHEREAS, Texans are renowned for their love of chicken fried |
|
steak, that exceptional dish that elevates the hearty flavor of |
|
beef to new heights by coating it in batter and breading and frying |
|
it until the ingredients are melded in a blissful union; and |
|
WHEREAS, A food that reflects the history and diversity of |
|
our state, chicken fried steak has been linked to the German |
|
specialty Wiener schnitzel, which arrived in Texas with European |
|
immigrants; other food historians note that chicken fried steak is |
|
similar to pan-fried steak, a favorite of Texas cowboys; and |
|
WHEREAS, Generations of Lone Star State residents have |
|
partaken of this beloved entree, and happy memories of putting |
|
knife and fork to a chicken fried steak in the company of family and |
|
friends are shared by countless people all across Texas; and |
|
WHEREAS, While chicken fried steak can be enjoyed at any |
|
time, the dish's popularity justifies the celebration of an |
|
observance in its honor; on October 26, 2011, restaurants |
|
throughout the state are marking the second annual Texas Chicken |
|
Fried Steak Day with special deals and related activities; and |
|
WHEREAS, This signature dish occupies a special place in the |
|
culinary culture of the Lone Star State, and Texas Chicken Fried |
|
Steak Day provides a welcome opportunity to pay homage to that |
|
shared legacy; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
Legislature hereby recognize October 26, 2011, as Texas Chicken |
|
Fried Steak Day and extend sincere best wishes to all who are taking |
|
part in this unique occasion. |
