  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Miller's Bar 
located in Dearborn, Michigan, as they celebrate over 80 years of 
service to our community. Their decades spent as a Dearborn legend are 
worthy of commendation.
  Established 1941 by the George Miller and his family, the current 
owners Dennis and Mark Miller give credit to Russell Miller who ``made 
it what it is.'' There's always a Miller around the restaurant, which 
is open six days a week. This old-school Dearborn establishment with 
the red booths is a local gem, one that requires that customers abide 
by the honor system when paying for their meals and accepts only cash. 
Though the honor system may be a relic of days past, their reliance on 
honesty and the trust they've built with their customers is a testament 
to their status as a treasured Dearborn mainstay. For years they've 
served generations of hungry workers and families.
  The restaurant is famous throughout southeast Michigan and is a 
popular gathering spot for nearby Ford Motor Company employees, known 
for their iconic made-to-order ground round burgers served on wax 
paper. Their burger was named one of the top 25 in the country by Food 
& Wine Magazine in 2012 and named one of the Best Burger Places in 
America by Thrillist in 2018. Among other fans include acclaimed food 
writers from GQ, MLive, Click on Detroit, the Wall Street Journal, Pure 
Michigan, The Michigan Journal, Detroit's Hour Magazine, and even 
Oprah.
  Miller's Bar is nothing short of a Dearborn icon. A family operation 
to this day, they have grilled for thousands. A place for friends to 
get together, families to share a meal, and to catch up on the 
neighborhood news--we have been lucky to have them here at home for the 
past eight decades.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today in celebrating 
Miller's Bar. Please join me in congratulating them on eight fantastic 
decades of business. We thank the Miller family for their commitment to 
serving our neighbors for the past 80 years. We wish them the best of 
luck as this Dearborn mainstay goes up for sale and new owners take 
over and continue the great tradition that the Miller family started 
long ago.
