Commemorating the return of the breakfast bowl to the menu of the Capitol Grill in the Texas State Capitol.
WHEREAS, March 24, 2025, was indeed a special day for Texas
Capitol staffers and other patrons of the Capitol Grill, for on that
day, the breakfast bowl made its long-awaited return to the menu;
and
WHEREAS, Up until early 2020, breakfast bowl aficionados
enjoyed ready access to this popular menu item during morning hours
at the Capitol Grill; the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the operations
of the cafeteria, and when the grill reopened, the breakfast bowl
was absent from the new menu, much to the disappointment of its
loyal fans; as the 89th Legislature got under way in January 2025,
some feared that the loss of the breakfast bowl might lead to a
harmful reduction in staff morale and morning productivity at the
statehouse; and
WHEREAS, Fortunately, a grassroots coalition of nostalgic
staffers and anonymous social media posters joined together to
focus public attention on the issue; thanks to their efforts, the
bowl is back, and customers can once again avail themselves of this
beloved combination of eggs, bacon, potatoes, and cheese in a fried
tortilla shell, with a choice of chorizo or sausage; and
WHEREAS, Capitol staffers work long hours during the
legislative session, and the renewed availability of this breakfast
favorite will help ensure they have the sustenance they need to
complete their important work; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the return of the breakfast bowl to
the Capitol Grill menu and extend sincere appreciation to all those
who helped make this much-loved morning treat available once again.
