  Mr. CRAWFORD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an exceptional 
family from my district. Since 1947, the Craig family has run Craig's 
Brother Bar-B-Q, dazzling De Valls Bluff with mouthwatering pork 
sandwiches dripping in the secret family sauce known for its hints of 
apple and bell pepper.
  Lawrence Craig, a former cook on a Mississippi River boat and his 
brother Wes opened the restaurant in 1947. Now with three generations 
of the Craig family maintaining the barbeque tradition, Craig's Brother 
Bar-B-Q was recognized as a 2019 Arkansas Food Hall of Fame Award 
Winner.
  Craig's offers slow-smoked meats covered in curated levels of spicy 
sauces, perfected coleslaw, ribs, and burgers that will make you feel 
like you are in Southern barbeque heaven. A local favorite, duck 
hunters frequent the family-run establishment that was also recognized 
as a 2020 People's Choice Nominee.
  For a blast of flavor and unforgettable taste of the South, visit 
Craig's Brother Bar-B-Q.
