                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 25, 2023

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Bojangles on being named one of the top ten regional fast-food 
restaurants in the country according to USA Today's Readers' Choice 
2023.
  Bojangles opened back in 1977 in Charlotte, North Carolina and has 
since spread nationwide, operating around 800 locations throughout the 
Midwest, South and up and down the East Coast. However, Bojangles has 
remained true to its Carolina roots and is a regional staple, 
specializing in perfectly seasoned fried chicken, biscuits and, of 
course, all the fixings.
  I have been a big fan of Bojangles since I was a boy growing up in 
North Carolina. To this day, one of my favorite parts about going home 
after a long stint in Washington is being able to sit down and enjoy 
Bojangles with my family, friends, or staff.
  Bojangles is a cultural icon and an esteemed member of our community 
in North Carolina. Its economic and community impact on our state is 
astounding and I look forward to continuing to work with them to see 
what they will accomplish in the future.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in recognizing Bojangles, its 
leaders, and employees on this momentous occasion and thanking them for 
all they do for our shared home of North Carolina.

                          ____________________
