FULL TEXT:
WHEREAS, Miss Mae's Bar-B-Que was the featured restaurant for "Bar-B-Quesday" on May 17, 2011, and it is one of the outstanding Central Texas businesses that have generously supported the popular lunch event during the 82nd Legislative Session; and WHEREAS, Hosted by State Representative Jason Isaac, Bar-B-Quesday has served up tasty fare for an appreciative crowd at the State Capitol on Tuesdays, and this highly anticipated get-together has provided a showcase for some of the legendary establishments in House District 45 specializing in that beloved cuisine; and WHEREAS, Miss Mae's Bar-B-Que in Wimberley is carrying on a legacy that extends back to the late 1950s; owner Steve Dunks bases his offerings on the recipes of his grandmother Mae, an area rancher who became famous for her home-cooked barbecue and who later operated a restaurant on the Wimberley Square; following her death in 1997, Mr. Dunks opened Miss Mae's Bar-B-Que, ensuring that his grandmother's delicious style of cooking will continue to be enjoyed by legions of satisfied diners; and WHEREAS, While many distinctive foods are associated with the Lone Star State, barbecue holds a special place in our culinary heritage, and Miss Mae's Bar-B-Que is indeed deserving of recognition for helping to focus attention on the prominent role that Central Texas has played in building and maintaining that proud tradition; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas Legislature hereby commend Miss Mae's Bar-B-Que for its participation in Bar-B-Quesday and extend sincere best wishes to the business for continued success; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for Miss Mae's Bar-B-Que as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
