           CELEBRATING 100 YEARS AT MIKE LINNIG'S RESTAURANT

  (Mr. McGARVEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McGARVEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 100 years of the 
legendary Mike Linnig's Restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky.
  Mike Linnig's is a cultural institution. New York City has Katz's 
Deli. New Orleans has Cafe Du Monde. Louisville has Mike Linnig's.
  It started as a simple roadside stand on a working farm along the 
Ohio River, offering fresh fruit, vegetables, and hospitality to those 
who stopped by.
  Before long, Mike's Place started selling fried fish sandwiches. 
Through floods, world wars, and recessions, the Linnig family has never 
stopped. That modest roadside stand is now 20 acres that can 
accommodate 1,000 people from all walks of life with an appetite for 
getting together with friends and family over the best fried cod and 
onion rings in America.

  I congratulate Mike's grandchildren, Bill, Theresa, and Nancy, who 
continue to run this beloved Louisville institution. Let's keep it 
going for another 100 years.
