         IN RECOGNITION OF THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF FOX & GOOSE

                                  _____
                                 

                          HON. DORIS O. MATSUI

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 23, 2015

  Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Fox & Goose 
Public House as they celebrate their 40th anniversary. As its owners, 
staff, and loyal patrons gather to celebrate this wonderful occasion, I 
ask all of my colleagues to join me in recognizing and honoring the Fox 
& Goose for their contributions to the Sacramento Region.
  Modeled after the famous public house bearing the same name in the 
English town of Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, Sacramento's Fox & Goose 
has become a similarly thriving institution. Founders Bill and Denise 
Dalton, along with their daughter and current owner Allyson Dalton, 
have successfully created a tradition of excellent quality and service 
that is an integral part of Sacramento's dining scene. Since its grand 
opening on January 15, 1975, Fox & Goose has truly embodied its name as 
a public house by providing a gathering place for all to visit with 
friends, unwind with a traditional English or American meal and enjoy 
their wide range of fine beers, wines, and Scotch. Every time that I am 
home, I find time to stop by for breakfast and enjoy one of their 
famous olallieberry scones.
  Over its 40 year history, Fox & Goose has received a number of 
accomplishments and accolades. The restaurant is widely regarded to 
have the ``Best Breakfast'' in Sacramento, winning awards and honors in 
this category many times, and from a number of different publications. 
Additionally, Fox & Goose's Open Mic and Pub Quiz nights have provided 
a great deal of entertainment for many in the Sacramento community to 
enjoy. The environment created by Bill and Denise, and sustained by 
Allyson, has also become the centerpiece of the revitalization of 
Sacramento's historic R Street.
  Mr. Speaker, as patrons gather for their 40th anniversary 
celebration, I am pleased to honor and recognize Fox & Goose for its 
important role in enhancing Sacramento's community. I ask my colleagues 
to join me in wishing them continued success and thanking them for 
their service to the Sacramento region.
