                        Wednesday, June 24, 2015

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Killen's 
Barbeque in Pearland for being named one of the top barbeque 
destinations in the country. The Food Network finally recognized what 
Pearland residents have known since Chef Ronnie Killen opened his 
doors.
  A new Food Network series, ``Top 5 Restaurants,'' named Killen's 
Barbeque the second best barbeque restaurant in the nation for its 
delicious smoked brisket. After millions of fan recommendations, our 
hometown barbeque hero's brisket came second only to a pork rib joint 
in Memphis. Killen's brisket is truly the best of the best. I can't 
wait to get back to Texas and order up some delicious brisket!
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations to the entire team at Killen's Barbeque on being 
recognized as a top barbeque destination in America.
