  Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge and honor Dewz 
Restaurant in its success as an OpenTable Diner's Top 100 ``Best 
Overall'' restaurants in the nation for 2011.
  This prestigious award comes from the OpenTable Diner's Choice ``2011 
Annual Winners--Best Overall Top 100 Restaurant List,'' based on the 
reviews of more than 10 million

users surveying 20,000 restaurants nationwide. This year, this fine 
Modesto establishment was one of only ten California restaurants to 
receive this award.
  The Aspesi family, Judy and her son Scott, opened Dewz in 1997, and 
shortly after, teamed up with executive chef Vicente Alvarado. Since 
then, Mr. Alvarado has enriched Dewz Restaurant with exceptional 
recipes.
  Dewz Restaurant's unique twist on combining American cuisine with 
Asian and French influence has made it a well known place for dinning 
in the Central Valley. The restaurant is known for its fresh food as 
well as its extensive wine selection, which features varieties from 
around the world.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in commending Dewz Restaurant for this 
prestigious recognition and in wishing them great success in their 
future endeavors.
