H.C.R. No. 148

HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, A vibrant southeast Texas community, Bridge City has

become known as a premier destination for a food that's synonymous

with good times and good eating: the corn dog; and

WHEREAS, Bridge City has a rich history of bringing people

together through events and festivals that foster a spirit of

hospitality and camaraderie; corn dogs are an especially popular

food at these gatherings, and attendees line up to procure the

sweet-and-savory treat, which is made by coating a hot dog in

cornmeal batter, deep-frying it, and serving it on a stick for easy

consumption while strolling; and

WHEREAS, The origin of this classic American snack food is a

matter of debate, but it has become a signature delicacy in Bridge

City; local vendors and food establishments are renowned for their

expertise in crafting delicious corn dogs, and they have become

beloved enterprises that are frequented by locals and visitors

alike; a number of the proprietors operate on a daily basis so that

enthusiasts don't have to wait for a special event to enjoy a tasty

dog; and

WHEREAS, Whether eaten with ketchup, mustard, or more exotic

toppings, the corn dog is an all-American favorite, and it has

become an iconic specialty and a source of civic pride for the

residents of Bridge City; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas

hereby designate Bridge City as the official Corn Dog Capital of

Texas; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That, in accordance with the provisions of Section

391.003(e), Government Code, this designation remain in effect

until the 10th anniversary of the date this resolution is finally

passed by the legislature.
