                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 11, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize The 
Chuckwagon Restaurant of Adair, Iowa for winning the 2016 Iowa's Best 
Burger Award from the Iowa Cattlemen's Association (ICA) and the Iowa 
Beef Industry Council (IBIC).
  ICA and IBIC have teamed up for the past seven years to award an Iowa 
restaurant for showcasing their great beef products. The product of 
choice for the nominations and selection is an Iowa favorite: the 
hamburger. This year's winning entrant was a local hometown cafe, like 
so many of those in Iowa. The Chuckwagon Restaurant in Adair, Iowa has 
all the markings of a great burger place--with extra helpings of 
community pride and tailor-made with private recipe seasonings a hearty 
slab of beef placed firmly between two homemade buns.
  The Chuckwagon's owner, Kim Reha, opened the doors to the restaurant 
in 2008. Ms. Reha has continually made changes and improvements not 
only to the facility, but to the burgers as well. Every burger is made-
to-order with a toasted bun and homemade house seasonings. Katie 
Olthoff, Director of Communications for ICA said ``They do an 
outstanding job of showcasing the great beef project with each of their 
great-tasting burgers on behalf of Iowa's beef farmers.''
  I commend Kim Reha and the staff at The Chuckwagon Restaurant for 
creating an outstanding menu featuring Iowa beef. I urge my colleagues 
in the U.S. House of Representatives to join me in congratulating The 
Chuckwagon Restaurant for winning Iowa's Best Burger Award. I wish Kim 
and all of the staff continued success in the future.
