  Mr. GARCIA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a legendary eatery 
serving the people of South Florida and beyond.
  For over 100 years, Joe's Stone Crab has been a prominent institution 
honored for its unparalleled customer service and quality food. Started 
by Joseph Weiss in 1913, Joe's Stone Crab was one of the first eating 
establishments on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. Over the years, Joe's 
has hosted a list of the ``who's who'' of the world including 
celebrities, politicians, and the like.
  The love of food, friends, and family has brought a countless number 
of people together, making this restaurant a ``must'' on the list of 
places to visit in Miami. Joe's Stone Crab is the epitome of top notch 
restaurant service and food, and is undoubtedly one of our community's 
most revered culinary institutions.
