local businesses in my district recently recognized in Florida Trend 
magazine.
  Local spots all over Florida help boost our economy and strengthen 
our communities.
  Two weeks ago, we celebrated Small Business Saturday and encouraged 
people to support small, local businesses. It is important we continue 
to shop small and keep our local communities growing.
  Two local establishments in my district recently received Florida 
Trend's Golden Spoon Awards and rank among the State's best 
restaurants. I would like to congratulate Dulcet Restaurant and Lounge 
in New Port Richey and Pearl in the Grove in Dade City.
  These awards are very well deserved. I am grateful to have such 
outstanding businesses in my home district, and I will continue my 
efforts to help small businesses thrive.
