                        Thursday, April 28, 2022

  Mr. CRAWFORD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an exceptional 
family from my district. The Murry and Young families of Prairie 
County, Arkansas have blessed their community with warm service and 
delectable plates since 1961, when Olden Murry founded Murry's 
Restaurant of Hazen.
  Taken over in 1986 by Murry's son-in-law and protege, Stanley Young, 
the family-run establishment was recognized as a 2020 Arkansas Food 
Hall of Fame Award Winner. Young and his wife, Rebecca, continue the 
legacy of delicious homestyle fare, specializing in fried catfish, hush 
puppies, chicken fried steak, T-bone steaks, as well as homemade bread, 
and onion rings.
  Regulars describe Murry's as home to ``the nicest people ever,'' 
where you can enjoy the ``best fried catfish in the nation,'' according 
to Southern Living Magazine in 2018.
  When passing through, don't miss the opportunity to indulge in 
Murry's widely-beloved bourbon bread pudding, and partake in the family 
hospitality of Murry's Restaurant.
