                         TRIBUTE TO TOM LABRIE

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Tom Labrie of Phillips County for his 18 years of serving 
his community as the head chef at the Great Northern Restaurant.
  Tom was born and raised in Malta. After graduating from Malta High 
School, Tom began working at the Great Northern Restaurant where he is 
a self-taught chef. He has since worked at the Great Northern 
Restaurant for 18 years, working his way up the line to head chef. He 
and his wife Anna have two kids and are active members of the Malta 
community.
  Tom's time at the restaurant stands out for two reasons: his hard 
work and his skills in the kitchen. Although he is the head chef, he 
does more than cook the food. Other employees and customers find him 
filling in wherever help is needed, including cashing out customers. 
While he is a self-taught chef, the food he creates makes the Great 
Northern Restaurant and Hotel stand out in Malta and the greater 
Phillips community.
  Tom is the secret ingredient to the success of the Great Northern 
Restaurant. The employees are grateful for his leadership and hard work 
as it keeps the restaurant running smoothly.
  Congratulations, Tom, on your successful career and impact on Malta's 
community. I look forward to my next stop at the Great Northern 
Restaurant to try your famous chicken fried steak.
