                  FRANK'S RESTAURANT 100TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. HUIZENGA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HUIZENGA. Mr. Speaker, in a time where there is conflict and war 
throughout the world, it is also good to remember those things that 
bring a smile to our face, whether it is people, traditions, or places. 
Today's tribute is one of those in my life.
  It is the 100th anniversary of Frank's Restaurant, which is an 
absolute icon in my hometown of Zeeland, Michigan. It was started by a 
man named Frank Dionise just 100 years ago and was family owned. The 
Dionises and the Hammers had owned it until just recently.
  It is the kind of place that every Zeelander has memories in and 
around. It is the kind of place where every true Zeelander knows what 
their go-to order is; mine happens to be the olive burger with onion 
rings.
  I thank Teresa Vander Zwaag and the families that have taken that 
over and made sure that this institution is continuing while it 
celebrates 100 years in the great town of Zeeland, Michigan.
